Link11 Strengthens Its Position as a Top European Cybersecurity Provider Through Strategic Integration
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, April 30th, 2025, CyberNewsWire
In a significant move that aligns with the contemporary demands of cybersecurity, Link11 has effectively integrated the services of DOSarrest and Reblaze, positioning itself as one of Europe’s leading providers of network security and web application security, as well as application performance. This transformation introduces a new brand identity that aims to create a consistent user experience while maximizing efficiency and ensuring robust security measures. Recognizing the increasing business risks stemming from geopolitical uncertainties and stringent compliance requirements, Link11 aims to deliver high-level security for critical business processes on a global scale.
The integration into Link11 stems from the company’s strategic acquisitions; DOSarrest was brought on board in 2021, followed by Reblaze Technologies in 2024. As a result, Link11 has significantly enhanced its market presence. The company now boasts the Link11 WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) SaaS platform, which combines elite DDoS protection against various web attacks with machine learning-based adaptive security features and API protection. This innovative offering represents an unparalleled amalgamation of real-time traffic filtering, AI-driven bot detection, and a next-gen web application firewall, all designed to facilitate secure, encrypted interactions within a unified suite.
The groundwork for this expansion was further solidified with Link11’s successful acquisition of €26.5 million in funding from Pride Capital Partners at the end of 2023. This capital is earmarked for advancing product development and executing an international go-to-market strategy, reinforcing Link11’s commitment to being at the forefront of cybersecurity innovations.
At the core of Link11’s strategy lies its proprietary cloud infrastructure and AI-driven technologies, setting new benchmarks for DDoS attack protection. The patented DDoS filter utilized by Link11 secures all data traffic within its cloud framework, operating at speeds and efficiencies that outstrip more conventional solutions. This positions Link11 favorably against competitors, as users benefit from complete control over resource scaling and intelligent, real-time traffic analysis that continually evolves from previous cyber attacks. Unlike many providers who depend on external infrastructures such as AWS or Google, Link11 has established its own cloud services. This independence not only ensures uninterrupted protection during DDoS attacks but further strengthens the capability for platform-independent security measures, even across multi-cloud environments.
Link11’s architecture is tailored to accommodate workloads across varied cloud environments, fortifying cybersecurity at the network edges while enhancing global content delivery speed. The focus on resilience and data sovereignty serves as a strong advantage in a landscape where modern cybersecurity requirements are increasingly complex.
Jens-Philipp Jung, the founder and CEO of Link11, highlights the importance of resilience against potential threats and outages in today’s shifting geo-political climate. He emphasizes that European companies which lead in data protection must prioritize technological independence to enhance their cyber resilience. With the services offered by Link11, organizations can experience the benefits of cutting-edge European technology, which promises maximum resilience, superior performance, and stringent compliance, all while maintaining sovereignty in their operations.
Moreover, recent surveys indicate a marked shift towards independent and trustworthy security solutions stemming from Europe. This development reflects a growing sentiment among cybersecurity managers who aim to bolster their cybersecurity frameworks. Link11 has already established a solid reputation by delivering services to various sectors, including financial institutions, media outlets, retail, logistics, and public services. Through its formidable brand presence and a multilayered security approach, Link11 assists clients in minimizing dependency on external cybersecurity measures, with the objective of creating more resilient security architectures—technologically, functionally, and geopolitically.
As the call for robust cybersecurity solutions becomes more urgent and complex, Link11 is poised to meet these growing needs head-on. With its fully integrated platform and a commitment to independence, Link11 is set to redefine standards in cybersecurity while providing organizations with the resilience necessary to thrive in the face of emerging challenges.
