Xiphera Wins ECSO STARtup Award 2025 for Innovation in Cybersecurity

The hardware-based security technology company Xiphera has been awarded the ECSO STARtup Award 2025, following the European finals held in The Hague, Netherlands. Organized by the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO), the award recognized Xiphera’s hardware-based cryptographic solutions as the most outstanding innovation among the finalists.

This recognition highlights the growing importance of hardware-level cybersecurity in securing critical infrastructure such as energy, telecommunications, and defense systems. The jury selected Xiphera after a day of finalist pitches and expert discussions.

“This is a great recognition for our entire team. It strengthens our belief that there is a real demand for the solutions we’re building—both in Europe and globally,” said CEO and Co-founder Matti Tommiska.

ECSO is a non-profit organisation driving collaboration between public and private stakeholders in the European cybersecurity landscape. The STARtup Award showcases Europe’s most promising cybersecurity start-ups and provides them with visibility, access to investors, and opportunities for growth and international partnerships.
