Imagine taking the full power of a cloud-grade SOC and placing it safely under a dome. Inside, everything runs at machine speed, including threat detection, automated triage, and deep analytics. Outside, the public internet continues its chaos, but not a single piece of your data ever leaves that perimeter.That is the exact balance highly regulated sectors are looking for today.
A different set of rules for critical sectors
Cloud-native SaaS is the go-to for modern security operations. It's fast, agile, and how most organizations stay ahead of threats without worrying about infrastructure upkeep. At Sekoia, that's still our primary focus.
But we also know that highly regulated sectors and critical infrastructure operate by a different set of rules.
For these teams, a traditional public cloud model creates real challenges:
- The compliance ceiling: Evolving national sovereignty requirements and strict regulations like NIS2 create an immediate roadblock for public-cloud-dependent security tools.
- Network limitations: When you operate in classified or completely restricted networks, external internet connectivity simply isn't an option, no matter how secure a cloud provider claims to be.
- Absolute autonomy: Defense, government, and vital infrastructure entities require total, uncompromising control over their underlying systems.
SaaS hasn't failed. But for critical industries, an architectural evolution is underway, bringing cloud-grade capabilities safely inside your own perimeter.
Why owning your stack is the new standard for highly regulated sectors
Owning your stack (and the data sovereignty that comes with it) is a rising conversation.
- Approximately 70% of all cyberattacks involved critical infrastructure in 2024 alone.
- 22% of critical infrastructure organizations have little or no confidence in identifying where their data is stored.
- 86% of CIOs are planning to move some public cloud workloads back to private cloud or on-premises.
But moving back to your own infrastructure doesn’t mean you’re stuck with legacy tech. Instead, it's a move toward operational maturity. Local deployment gives critical sectors what they actually need: modern, automated detection and response, paired with total control over where your data lives. It’s sovereignty by design. You also gain the ability to run a fully independent Security Operations Center (SOC) with zero external connectivity, isolated from public cloud dependencies entirely.
Introducing Sekoia… self-hosted
Built specifically for high-security environments, Sekoia self-hosted delivers everything you need to run an independent SOC:
- Digitally signed binaries, Docker images, and Helm charts for a verifiable supply chain.
- A dedicated deployment CLI and detailed runbooks to automate your platform lifecycle.
- Weekly threat intelligence and detection rule updates that are fully compatible with air-gapped systems.
We've already onboarded our first users and will be rolling the platform out live over the coming months.
What self-hosted means for critical sector SOC teams
Shifting to a self-hosted model changes the daily operational reality for your team in a few major ways:
- Cloud-grade performance on your terms: You get Sekoia’s core detection, triage, and automation capabilities. Feature parity will scale progressively, with specialized AI agent layer (Elevate) and full CTI capabilities landing across late 2026 and 2027 releases.
- Complete independence: Your team operates entirely autonomously, free from the uptime variables or policy shifts of third-party public cloud providers.
- A predictable lifecycle: No surprise upgrades. Your team controls the deployment, monitoring, and patch cycles through a structured versioning model.
- Resilient by design: High availability isn't an afterthought. The platform is anchored by a 6-node minimum architecture to ensure ingestion and detection keep running seamlessly, even if a node fails.
Self-hosted vs. SaaS deployment models
Here’s a closer look at how the two models differ.
A quick honesty check: Is self-hosted right for you?
Because this platform is built for heavy enterprise workloads, it requires serious operational scale. Before diving in, it's worth checking your alignment against our current boundaries:
Let's start a conversation
Every organization faces its own mix of regulations, infrastructure limits, and security goals. If you checked the boxes for a self-hosted architecture, our team is ready to guide you through the mandatory build phase and introduce you to your future Technical Account Manager (TAM).
And if local deployment isn't the right fit? All good! Our core SaaS platform is alive, well, and continuously scaling to protect enterprises globally.
