About Qosmos

Qosmos, now part of the Enea group, specializes in network intelligence and cybersecurity software for telecom networks and cybersecurity vendors. Founded in 2000 by CEO Thibaut Bechetoille, the company is headquartered in Paris, France. It provides software development kits (SDKs) and standalone software that embed into networking and security products, offering real-time, detailed traffic visibility. This technology helps solution vendors and integrators to develop and deliver equipment with application awareness, enabling them to better manage and secure network traffic.

The core products are the Enea Qosmos ixEngine and the Enea Qosmos Probe. The ixEngine is a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and traffic classification engine that identifies and extracts metadata from network traffic in real time. The Qosmos Probe is a network sensor for detailed, real-time traffic analysis. These products are used by clients in various sectors, including telecommunications, cybersecurity, and enterprise networking, to build solutions for traffic management, policy enforcement, and cyber defense. The company's technology is embedded in solutions from major equipment and software vendors.

Enea, a Swedish company supplying software for telecommunications and cybersecurity, acquired Qosmos in December 2016 for approximately EUR 52.7 million. This acquisition integrated Qosmos's DPI expertise into Enea's portfolio, enhancing their offerings for the new era of virtualized networks and cybersecurity challenges.
