About Wisnio
Since its inception, CyLock has tackled the challenge of a global cybersecurity talent shortage, which leaves organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks costing an estimated $6 trillion annually. Diego Padovan, CEO of CyLock, emphasizes, “We don’t want to provide just another dashboard for security specialists; we’ve radically changed the perspective, shifting from a vulnerability management dashboard to a tool that offers concrete solutions to stop hacker attacks.”
“It’s great to see how the challenges Wisnio faced at various stages, under Alo’s leadership, have been continuously solved in better and better ways. This recognition reflects that progress and presents an exciting opportunity to scale their solutions further. We’re proud to be part of this journey and look forward to what Wisnio will achieve next.”
Wisnio’s acquisition reflects our mission of empowering startups to scale globally, securing strategic exits that not only validate our selection criteria but also ensure meaningful value creation for both founders and investors. This successful exit is a prime example of how we guide startups from inception to impactful partnerships with industry leaders(
We look forward to celebrating more such wins and expanding our influence as one of Europe’s most active B2B startup accelerators. Congratulations to Alo Arro, Tonis Arro, and the Wisnio team on this impressive milestone!
