Group-IB has opened the doors of its European headquarters in Amsterdam, which will serve as a central hub for the company's research into the European threat landscape.

The Amsterdam office, located at Prinsengracht 919, is set to intensify the strong European cyber threat knowledge Group-IB had previously, broaden the company's global threat hunting infrastructure and strengthen the on-the-ground support for the company's customer base in the region, which, among others, includes major banks of the Netherlands.

The choice of host for the European HQ comes as no surprise: the Netherlands, which is home to Europol, the Hague Security Delta, NATO Cyber Security Agency, and European Network for Cyber Security, has been one of the key players of the European cybersecurity world.

According to Group-IB experts, the exodus of global tech and financial companies from London to Amsterdam is likely to escalate the city's attractiveness in the eyes of cybercriminals, which will inevitably lead to the increase of the number of cyberattacks there.

"Banks in the Netherlands and financial organizations in Europe were among our first customers to purchase Group-IB attribution-based Threat Intelligence, which indicates the market's high level of maturity," comments Group-IB CEO and founder Ilya Sachkov.
