OPSWAT, a global pioneer in critical infrastructure protection (CIP), announced the opening of its international briefing center and state-of-the-art cybersecurity lab in London, marking a significant expansion of its UK presence.

The investment underscores OPSWAT’s commitment to protecting finance, defense, and operational technology in manufacturing and energy to strengthen the UK’s economic and national security.

OPSWAT’s portfolio

OPSWAT’s portfolio addresses escalating cyber threats with solutions such as content disarm and reconstruction (CDR), multi-AV scanning, adaptive sandboxing, data diodes, and secure managed file transfer.

These capabilities are increasingly vital as legacy systems remain vulnerable, files cross online and air-gapped organizational perimeters and security boundaries, and AI-driven attacks grow more sophisticated.

Key Highlights:

  • UK headcount grew from five to 35 employees in the past year, with plans to add 65 more by end of 2026.
  • UK bookings rose 76% from 2023 to 2024 and are expected to grow at the same rate in 2025.
  • OPSWAT serves more than 2,000 customers worldwide across multiple sectors, operating 20 offices globally.
  • The London office will also serve as a hub to train and certify the next generation of critical national infrastructure (CNI) cybersecurity professionals through OPSWAT Academy.

The opening ceremony featured a ribbon cutting by OPSWAT executives, demonstrations in the cybersecurity lab, and participation from pioneers in technology, government, and industry.

Unprecedented cyberattacks

Protecting the way we live requires not only cutting-edge technology but also proximity to the industries and regulators most at risk,” said Benny Czarny, Founder and CEO, OPSWAT.

At a time of unprecedented cyberattacks and tightening regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act, this investment gives UK industry a hands-on environment to strengthen defenses, ensure compliance, and safeguard essential services.”
