Thales
Thales Group is a global technology company headquartered in Paris, operating in the defense, aerospace, transportation, and cybersecurity sectors. The company was founded in 2000 and currently employs over 80,000 people in more than 60 countries. In the field of cybersecurity, Thales specializes in cryptography, cloud and on-premise data encryption, and key management. The company offers both commercial solutions and military and government-grade systems that protect critical infrastructure, communication systems, supply chains, and sensitive data.
In December 2023, Thales completed the acquisition of US-based Imperva, a specialist in data and web application security.
By combining its expertise in encryption and access management with advanced application and data protection, the company now offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios in the industry. The new, expanded offering covers the entire data lifecycle—from leak prevention and activity monitoring to encryption and access control—in on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
