Cybersecurity Company For OT & IoT Security

What Drives Us? Protecting What Powers Tomorrow

Cybersecurity Made in Germany

Your specialist in software development and cybersecurity

ECOS provides tailored cybersecurity solutions for companies and organizations with elevated security requirements—from industrial enterprises and critical infrastructure operators to government agencies and other security-sensitive environments.

Our portfolio comprises two core product lines. Our high-performance PKI solutions provide comprehensive certificate lifecycle management to secure communications, devices, machines, and digital identities across IoT and OT environments.

Our BSI-approved remote access solutions are designed for environments handling classified information at the German VS-NfD, EU RESTRICTED, and NATO RESTRICTED levels, enabling highly secure remote access to central data and applications. They are approved for use even from private or public PCs.

deutsches Cybersecurity Unternehmen |ECOS Technology

Cybersecurity built on trust

Innovative technologies. Tailored solutions.

We develop, manufacture, and support all of our solutions entirely in Germany. Our Made in Germany cybersecurity solutions meet the individual requirements of customers in IoT and OT environments as well as government and critical infrastructure sectors, delivering the highest technical standards and state-of-the-art security.

ECOS is an independent German company headquartered in Oppenheim and part of the Swedish Elvirian Group. This combination brings together two key strengths: the agility, close customer relationships, and technical expertise of a specialized German cybersecurity company with the capabilities and long-term perspective of a European group dedicated to business-critical IT and OT security.

Elvirian brings together European cybersecurity companies with complementary expertise. Together, we are committed to delivering reliable, practical, and sustainable cybersecurity solutions for organizations with demanding security requirements.

ECOS customers continue to work with a trusted local partner in Oppenheim, benefiting from short lines of communication, and personal support.

At the same time, ECOS is part of a European network dedicated to strengthening, advancing, and promoting independent European cybersecurity solutions in support of the European Union's digital sovereignty.

The ECOS SecureBootStick® VS-NfD and the ECOS TrustManagementAppliance® are the cornerstones of our product portfolio. They enable secure digital operations, trusted digital identities, comprehensive certificate lifecycle management, and the protection of highly sensitive IT, OT, and IoT environments. Both product lines are continuously enhanced and represent a key contribution to sovereign European cybersecurity.

ECOS' integration into the Elvirian Group operates within a clearly defined regulatory framework. The responsible German federal ministry reviewed and approved the transaction subject to specific conditions. These safeguards reflect the strategic importance of ECOS products for security-critical environments while supporting the company's long-term role within a European cybersecurity group.

»ECOS is an excellent fit for Elvirian because it embodies all the qualities that matter most in demanding cybersecurity projects: deep technical expertise, close customer relationships, reliability, and the ability to translate complex security requirements into practical solutions. Together, we combine the strengths of an independent German cybersecurity specialist with a clear European perspective. Our shared ambition is to strengthen the Oppenheim site and expand trusted security solutions for critical IT and OT environments across Europe.«
