About us

Learn more about 1stmarkets.

Founded in 2004, 1stmarkets GmbH, based near Munich/Germany, offers market-leading solutions for the provision, processing, and securing your company data and sensitive information in accordance with international standards.

‌No matter what topic you are interested in: Data-Access, Data-Processing & Filtering, Billing, Cyber Security, Network Security Monitoring, Compliance- or Performance-Monitoring. We deliver the right solution for your tasks and requirements. Our solutions offer you the flexibility and security you need to be able to access your data securely and at any time, without affecting your productive network and without having to wait for one of the rare maintenance windows.

Our solutions are therefore particularly suitable for use in production environments where data integrity, availability, and security have the highest priority. At the same time, if necessary, you always have access to your "original data" (physical layer), relieve your infrastructure (switches, routers, firewalls, etc.) of redundant data and reduce your response times with increased flexibility and lower costs.

We also offer managed cyber security services for IT and OT applications. These services have evolved from our original hardware-based monitoring solutions into today's cloud-native and zero carbon services. Our Managed Security Services are based on our IndustryTrust Platform.
