While many associate critical infrastructure with government buildings and hospitals, the scope is far broader—it includes essential systems like water, energy, finance, transportation, and communication. As these systems become increasingly digitized, the risks from cyberattacks grow exponentially. OPSWAT exists to meet this challenge head-on.
Founded in 2002 in San Francisco, OPSWAT is a global provider of cybersecurity solutions designed to secure both IT and Operational Technology (OT) systems with nearly 1,000 employees and 1,700+ customers worldwide. Guided by a Zero Trust philosophy, OPSWAT assumes every file and every device could pose a threat. The company’s robust solutions prevent attacks before they can cause harm, focusing on secure data transfer, malware prevention, and device access.
This year, OPSWAT proudly celebrates the 10-year anniversary of its Timișoara office—an essential milestone for the global cybersecurity company and a testament to Romania’s strategic importance in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure. Since opening its doors in 2015, OPSWAT Romania has grown from a small team into a powerful development, operations, and innovation hub supporting both regional and international markets.
OPSWAT's Timișoara team is responsible for the company’s MetaDefender for Secure Storage, MetaDefender for Cloud and customer support services—the Romanian office alone handles 40% of all global customer support cases, making it a key pillar of OPSWAT’s global operation.
Over the past decade, OPSWAT Romania has concentrated on the government and defense sectors, particularly in light of the evolving geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe. Solutions such as Kiosk, Data Diodes, and Managed File Transfer have become the standard for secure cross-domain and import/export (IMPEX) operations. This track record of delivering reliable, high-compliance solutions has earned OPSWAT the trust of critical institutions across the region.
Now, the company is setting its sights on the enterprise market. As cyberattacks increasingly target private businesses, OPSWAT’s suite of modular tools—File Security, Storage Security, and Malware Analysis—are being adapted to help enterprises seamlessly integrate advanced protection into their existing security ecosystems.
OPSWAT’s impact in Romania is further amplified through its collaboration with ProVision, the leading Value-Added Distributor of IT security solutions in Romania. Together, OPSWAT and ProVision combine cutting-edge technology with local expertise, enabling organizations to implement comprehensive security strategies tailored to their unique operational and regulatory needs.
ProVision’s deep experience in deploying cybersecurity frameworks and managing critical infrastructure projects complements OPSWAT’s advanced threat prevention tools, creating a synergy that ensures both government institutions and enterprises benefit from resilient, end-to-end protection. This partnership exemplifies how global innovation and regional expertise can work hand in hand to safeguard the digital backbone of society.
