Managed WAN and security services for globally distributed enterprises
nicos AG operates a managed network and security services business built on SD-WAN, SASE, and a security-first stack (Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, SIEM, SOAR). The company is actively automating detection-and-response workflows and standardizing hybrid network architectures—priorities reflected in their hiring mix, which skews heavily toward senior security (4 roles) and engineering (3 roles) over sales (2 roles), signaling investment in operational depth rather than near-term pipeline.
nicos AG provides managed WAN and firewall services to mid-market and enterprise companies operating across multiple countries. The business model centers on designing, deploying, and operating wide-area networks and security infrastructure—with 24/7 operations run from their Münster headquarters. nicos has deployed over 4,000 network solutions across 2,000 locations in 130 countries. Service offerings span managed WAN, managed firewall, managed LAN, WAN optimization, and SASE. The technology foundation includes Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and SD-WAN—supplemented by infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, Ansible, NetBox) and security-operations platforms (SIEM, SOAR, SentinelOne). Founded in 2000, the company operates as a privately held organization with 51–200 employees.
