About Open Systems

Founded in 1990 in Basel, Switzerland, Open Systems achieved consistent sustainable and profitable growth and transitioned from a Managed Security Services Providers (MSSP) into a leading SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) provider.

Open Systems’ SASE offering combines SD-WAN, Firewall, SWG, CASB, and ZTNA via a framework that supports secure connectivity across cloud and hybrid environments and locations. The comprehensive SASE suite is delivered as a 24/7 Mission Control service through an easy-to-use customer portal, underpinned by a unified data platform.

Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Open Systems currently operates globally with a user base in more than 180 countries.

Market trends and drivers

Open Systems’ SASE offering provides a solution to the growing complexity in companies’ legacy network and security architectures, resulting from the digital transformation to hybrid environments, increased remote working and an abundance of cyber threats.

Open Systems benefits from a substantial adoption and replacement of legacy architecture and combining network architecture with security aspects.
