cyan AG, a provider of intelligent cybersecurity solutions, has achieved a significant milestone in its growth strategy by securing its first German internet service provider (ISP) as a client through its partnership with CANCOM, one of Germany’s largest IT system integrators. The deal, announced just months after the partnership was formed, marks the first direct ISP acquisition via the CANCOM Marketplace. Contracts with additional German ISPs are anticipated to follow shortly.
Starting in September 2026, the ISP will actively market cyan’s cybersecurity solution, cyan Guard 360, to its customers. The solution is designed specifically to protect small and medium-sized businesses from digital threats such as phishing, malware, and other malicious content. This cloud-based cybersecurity solution can be easily integrated into existing provider infrastructures, requiring minimal additional effort for customers.
The deal reflects a structural increase in demand within the ISP market, as internet service providers seek high-quality value-added services to sustainably increase their average revenue per user (ARPU). cyan Guard 360 addresses this need by offering a simple, intuitive solution that ISPs can quickly implement to expand their service portfolio and tap into new, high-margin revenue streams.
Markus Cserna, CEO of cyan AG, stated: "The first direct ISP deal in Germany is concrete proof that our growth strategy is working – and at a remarkable pace. There is strong and growing demand among German Internet service providers to offer their customers real added value through cybersecurity services while simultaneously increasing ARPU. Our cybersecurity solution, cyan Guard 360, meets this need."
cyan AG has nearly 20 years of experience in the IT industry, providing cybersecurity products for end customers of mobile and fixed network internet providers and financial service providers. The company’s solutions are integrated as white label products into the apps and system landscapes of international business partners, who offer them under their own brand. cyan operates its own research and development center to identify industry trends and develop optimal product solutions. Its customers include the Orange Group, Deutsche Telekom (Magenta/T-Mobile), and Claro Chile (America Movil Group).
This milestone underscores the growing importance of cybersecurity in the ISP sector, as providers look to differentiate their offerings and generate additional revenue streams. The partnership with CANCOM has proven instrumental in opening doors to German ISPs, and cyan expects further contracts to materialize soon.
