Heimdal Security
What it is
Heimdal Security is a cybersecurity platform for enterprises, managed service providers, and managed security service providers. It brings prevention, detection, access control, and response across endpoints, email, identity, and cloud. Listed modules include DNS security, antivirus and firewall, ransomware protection, patch and asset management, privileged access, application control, email security, threat hunting, and remote desktop. The platform describes AI-supported detection, investigation, and response; AI Wingman is listed for platform guidance and investigation support. Managed Extended Detection and Response with 24x7 SOC services is also available. Named integrations include Microsoft 365, HaloPSA, ConnectWise, and Datto. Heimdal says its platform supports alignment with NIS2, GDPR, NIST, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001 best practices. Enterprise estimates depend on selected products and endpoint or server counts, with final pricing discussed with sales.
