cyan AG, a provider of intelligent cybersecurity solutions, has achieved a significant milestone in its growth strategy by acquiring its first German Internet service provider (ISP) as a client. The deal comes just months after the company announced a partnership with CANCOM, one of Germany's largest IT system integrators and a leading provider of hybrid IT and managed services. Through the CANCOM Marketplace, cyan will supply its cybersecurity solution, cyan Guard 360, to the ISP starting in September 2026. Contracts with additional German ISPs are expected to follow shortly, according to the company.
cyan Guard 360 is a cloud-based cybersecurity solution designed to protect small and medium-sized businesses from digital threats such as phishing, malware, and other malicious content. The solution can be quickly integrated into existing provider infrastructures and requires minimal effort from customers. For ISPs, this presents an opportunity to expand their service portfolios and generate new, high-margin revenue streams, thereby increasing average revenue per user (ARPU).
The deal reflects a structural increase in demand within the ISP market, as providers seek high-quality value-added services to sustainably grow ARPU. Markus Cserna, CEO of cyan AG, stated: "The first direct ISP deal in Germany is concrete proof that our growth strategy is working – and at a remarkable pace. There is strong and growing demand among German Internet service providers to offer their customers real added value through cybersecurity services while simultaneously increasing ARPU. Our cybersecurity solution, cyan Guard 360, meets this need."
cyan AG has nearly 20 years of experience in the IT industry, offering cybersecurity products for end customers of mobile and fixed network internet providers and financial service providers. The company operates its own research and development center to identify industry trends early and develop optimal product solutions. Its customers include major telecom groups such as Orange Group, Deutsche Telekom (Magenta/T-Mobile), and Claro Chile (America Movil Group).
