GLIMPS: A European AI Cybersecurity Startup for Sovereign Malware Analysis

GLIMPS is a rising European cyber-defense innovator that has quietly emerged from France’s high-security laboratories to tackle one of the most critical challenges in cybersecurity: identifying and stopping malicious code in real time.

Founded in 2019 by experts from the French Ministry of Armed Forces , this company began as a pilot project inside a military incubator and has quickly grown into a key player in malware analysis. Its journey – from a small team of four reverse-engineers working in a secured garage, to a provider of state-of-the-art malware detection platforms – encapsulates a new model of European tech venture.
