Whalebone, a European pioneer of protective DNS (PDNS), head of the DNS4EU Consortium, and the leading DNS security partner among the global Telecommunications sector, has once again been recognized in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe 2024 report, ranking as the 48th fastest-growing company in the region and the 16th in the Czech Republic, with 805% revenue growth.

This year’s Deloitte Central Europe Technology Fast 50 ranking received nearly 400 applications from 18 countries, with companies achieving the highest average growth rate in the program’s 25-year history.

“Receiving this recognition from Deloitte for three years running reaffirms Whalebone’s position as a leader in cybersecurity innovation and fuels our ambition to keep pushing boundaries,” said Petr Hlousek, CMO at Whalebone. “It’s a milestone in our journey to secure 1 billion people worldwide by 2030.”

Continued success in building a safer digital world

Whalebone continues to invest in its proactive threat mitigation technologies and localized threat intelligence partnerships. The company’s innovative approach in these areas for critical infrastructure has solidified its position as a trusted partner for communication service providers (CSPs), including ISPs and especially telecom operators, as well as governments, municipalities, regional cybersecurity agencies, and enterprises responsible for the security, compliance, and uptime of critical services. This has helped Whalebone to become a vital player in European and global cybersecurity.

Whalebone’s commitment to innovation and collaboration with regional cybersecurity partners such as Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), academic research institutions, and hundreds of CSPs contributes toward an unparalleled level of localized threat intelligence. This collaboration has greatly enhanced global protection for millions and firmly established Whalebone’s leadership in both the European and global cybersecurity arenas.

“Making the Deloitte list for the third time highlights the dedication of our team, the trust of our partners, and the growing demand for innovative DNS security solutions,” Hlousek added. “We are helping organizations close critical security gaps and achieve regulatory compliance, ensuring safer digital environments worldwide.”
