Project: Adapting Arctic EWS for International Market Expansion (2025 - 2026)

Description of the project funded by the European Regional and Structural Policy Funds.

Summary

Arctic EWS (Early Warning Service) is a cybersecurity early-warning solution developed by Arctic Security that alerts organizations to issues affecting their networks and digital assets. The product is delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. Arctic Security provides the service directly to organizations and through a network of value-added resellers.

This project will tailor Arctic EWS for two priority customer segments; academic institutions and enterprise groups that, due to organizational structure or multinational operations, must protect large, distributed networks.

Project activities will:

  • extend the product to meet the specific needs of these segments
  • add capabilities that simplify integration into customers’ systems and processes
  • enhance features and tooling for partners and resellers to enable scalable sales.

The project includes the required product development and security testing. It also incorporates a marketing work package, under which Arctic Security representatives will participate in selected international events to promote the product to international customers and to establish relationships with prospective new resellers.
