Ekinops acquires 100% of Chimere, a French ZTNA startup born from Thales in 2019, with closure set by March 31, 2026. Following its May 2025 Olfeo deal, Ekinops now becomes the only European single-vendor SASE player globally and the world's sole vendor combining SD-WAN, SSE, and universal ZTNA with on-premise deployment. With 105M EUR FY2025 revenue powering the Bridge strategic plan, European digital sovereignty in secure access takes a major leap forward.
