EIB backs Gatewatcher with €25m for cyber defence

Gatewatcher, a France-based cyber threat detection specialist, has secured a €25m venture debt facility from the European Investment Bank (EIB).

The investment marks the EIB’s largest-ever cybersecurity commitment and will support Gatewatcher’s plans to accelerate the development of its AI-driven network detection and response (NDR) platform.

Gatewatcher operates in the cybersecurity sector, delivering advanced threat detection capabilities that combine artificial intelligence with real-time threat intelligence. Its NDR platform enables comprehensive network monitoring for businesses and public institutions, including critical infrastructure operators, governments and enterprise customers, protecting them against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.

The newly secured funds will help Gatewatcher enhance its detection algorithms and speed up the launch of its latest AI modules.

EIB vice-president Ambroise Fayolle said, “In today’s digital battlefield, cybersecurity is integral to our defence architecture and economic resilience. By empowering Gatewatcher—an innovator wholly devoted to safeguarding Europe’s digital assets—we reinforce both our security strategy and our competitive edge.”

Gatewatcher CEO Jacques de La Rivière said, “This financing from a leading European institution is a testament to our shared vision of a secure digital future. It will enable us to deepen our technological innovation, expedite product launches, and help forge a robust European cybersecurity sector. Our growth is driven by dedicated teams and a collective responsibility to our partners and clients.”
