SEPPmail AG, a Swiss email-security specialist, gives CISOs a combined technical-protection and human-risk platform following its acquisition of CyberPilot, a Danish security-awareness-training and phishing-simulation provider working with more than 1,000 organizations across Europe. The deal extends SEPPmail beyond technical email-security protection into human-risk management for the first time, addressing the reality that phishing and social engineering remain a top breach vector regardless of how strong technical email controls are.
Backed by private equity firm LEA Partners, SEPPmail completed the CyberPilot acquisition on August 13, 2026 in a deal reportedly valued in the hundreds of millions of Danish kroner — a substantial strategic move toward building a broader European security platform that spans both technical controls and employee behavior.
