SEC Consult (Eviden) – Strategic-Technological Analysis
In an era where cyber threats and digital dependencies shape national security, SEC Consult GmbH (part of Eviden/Atos) stands out as a European specialist in application and infrastructure security[1]. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and founded in 2002 by former Capgemini consultants[2], SEC Consult has grown into a multinational consultancy with hundreds of experts worldwide[3]. It serves government agencies, critical infrastructure operators and large enterprises in finance, technology and utilities[4][5]. Its core services (penetration testing, security audits, 24/7 incident response and secure software certification) address the complex threats facing Europe’s digital backbone[1][6]. This analysis examines how SEC Consult’s capabilities align with EU strategic-autonomy goals: specifically, whether its cyber resilience offerings can reduce reliance on non-allied technology, bolster NATO’s multi-domain operations, and strengthen European deterrence. By exploring its technology portfolio, partnerships and program involvement, the report assesses SEC Consult’s strategic significance in European and transatlantic defense frameworks.
