Managed detection and response with blue/red team services across Europe and Asia
7Layers operates a distributed MDR and incident response practice across Europe and Asia, built on a stack of Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, and SentinelOne paired with SIEM tooling (IBM QRadar) and offensive security frameworks (Metasploit, Burp Suite, Cobalt Strike). Current hiring is almost entirely security-focused (7 of 11 open roles), with mid-to-senior staffing patterns and a single engineering hire — signaling heavy reliance on manual threat hunting and operational delivery rather than platform automation. Internal pain points center on SIEM optimization, compliance efficiency, and delivery team structure, suggesting growth is outpacing operational infrastructure.
7Layers is a European cybersecurity services firm founded in 2012, offering managed detection and response (MDR), incident response, and penetration testing across enterprise, financial services, manufacturing, and energy sectors. The company operates global security operations centers in Italy, the United States, Ukraine, and Hong Kong, staffed by analysts trained in both offensive and defensive techniques. Service offerings span blue team capabilities (threat hunting, forensic investigation, infrastructure protection), red team services (ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment, web application scanning), and security awareness training. The organization positions itself as an extension of customer security teams, providing 24/7 monitoring and rapid response to advanced threats alongside compliance and gap analysis consulting.
7Layers deploys Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Trend Micro, SentinelOne, and Fortinet for endpoint and network detection, paired with IBM QRadar for SIEM and threat intelligence frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
7Layers operates security centers in Italy (Turin and Florence), the United States (New York), Ukraine (Kiev), and Hong Kong, offering multilingual and multicultural threat intelligence.
