Strong Network, founded by experienced cybersecurity engineers Laurent Balmelli and Ozrenko Dragic, specializes in providing secure Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) for organizations. Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, with operations in Serbia and California, the company has raised EUR 5.1 million in Seed funding and has received multiple awards in cybersecurity, including the 2022 best startup award from the International Forum on Cybersecurity. Strong Network addresses the dual challenges faced by its clients: enhancing the efficiency of the development process within the DevOps cycle and ensuring robust security against data leaks. Unlike traditional solutions that treat these issues separately, Strong Network's platform integrates these functions, offering a low-bandwidth, locally executing development environment that prioritizes both security and developer productivity. This innovative approach enables clients to centralize management, improve developer experience, and reduce IT costs, ultimately reconciling the need for productivity with enterprise data protection. With a diverse team of over 25 professionals and significant clients like Broadcom and WeBank, Strong Network is positioned as a leader in the DevSecOps space.
