Managing privileged access is such a complex task that getting the right support in this area should not be another challenge. That is why DAGMA IT Security and Segura – a global leader in identity management (PAM) – are entering into a strategic partnership and opening Europe’s first Centre of Excellence. The centre, located in Katowice, Poland, is designed to support organisations in faster implementation of PAM solutions and compliance with regulations such as RODO or NIS2. It is the third location of its kind in the world after the US and Saudi Arabia.
The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2024 shows that as many as 86% of security breaches involved stolen login credentials, phishing or abuse of privileges. In the face of growing threats and tightening compliance requirements, Segura and DAGMA IT Security give European cyber security teams what they need most: expert support, intuitive tools and full regulatory compliance.
“Center of Excellence is the next step in our mission to support organisations around the world, this time with a strong local base in Europe. We believe that fast access to technical support, simplified implementations and compliance with European regulations are the key to successful identity security.” – Marcus Scharra, CEO of Segura, said at the opening of the Centre of Excellence in Europe.
A European response to global challenges
Katowice is not only the industrial heart of Poland, but also a rapidly growing centre for new technologies and IT services. It is here that Segura has created a centre that will serve as a regional technology hub, supporting both the private and public sectors across Europe.
“The need for effective identity security management is growing at an unprecedented rate. The opening of the CoE is not only important from the point of view of our overseas expansion. It is also important because Segura is expanding its offering beyond classic PAM solutions, adding areas such as IGA (Identity Governance & Administration) or AM (Access Management). According to industry reports, this is one of the fastest growing areas of cyber security, which we are also strongly betting on. We are confident that this strategic partnership will significantly strengthen the deployment capabilities and support for our customers across the region.” – explains Mikołaj Sikorski, Chief Strategy Officer at DAGMA IT Security.
The Centre of Excellence in Europe includes:
- technical and expert support for customers throughout Europe
- rapid implementation with adaptation to regional realities
- Regulatory compliance support, including RODO, NIS2 and other European regulations
The opening of the CoE in Katowice is another step in the development of DAGMA Bezpieczeństwo IT, which has been focusing on growth in the area of cyber security services for many years. The company’s entry into foreign markets (DACH) in 2022 has significantly strengthened its market position and translated into an increase in the number of protected organisations. Among the recent deployments was the provision of Segura solutions to support the entire IT environment of one of the world’s largest automotive companies. The CoE will serve as a regional technology resource, supporting both the private and public sectors across Europe.
