This momentum is highly appreciated by Kevin Muller, CEO and founder of Passbolt. In the space of one month, his startup has received three awards and been positioned among the top cybersecurity solutions in Europe.

Cybersecurity start-up Passbolt was voted best European startup in April by the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO)In early April, ECSO highlighted the company as the best representative of the European cybersecurity startup ecosystem. This award is all the more valuable as the jury was made up of representatives and well-known experts of the European cyber industry. “I think our solution appealed because it solves the pain points of everyone: the IT teams as well as the regular end users,” Kevin Muller says.

“It comes at the right time”

Passbolt offers a password management solution with a high level of security within a company. “Many investors and IT distributors have contacted us as a result of this award. It comes at the right time because we have reached a sufficient level of maturity with our solution to be ready for scaling at an international level,” he adds.

A few days later, the company was awarded the prize for the best mobile application for business by the Polish specialist magazine Mobile Trends. A much appreciated reward for an app that was launched just a few months ago.

Just a week later, British hosting provider 20i published its FOSS awards that is based on votes from its users around the world. In the “Password manager” category, Passbolt was in the first place. Again.
