Our mission is clear.

Empower advanced cyber teams with unique,
high-quality threat data intelligence.

In cybersecurity, data is key for quick, informed decisions. However, data overload is a constant challenge, making it difficult for security experts to identify real threats amidst a flood of low-priority events.

ELLIO provides unique threat data intelligence helping to reduce alert fatigue and improve automation, leading to faster identification and response to real attackers. ELLIO seamlessly integrates into existing systems and tools, enhancing threat detection, improving response times, and turning complex data into clear, actionable insights.

Our Story

Inspired by the legacy of the first antivirus revolutionaries.

ELLIO’s journey began with two experts, Vlad Iliushin and Jana Tom, who first met at Avast, one of the world’s oldest antivirus companies and the creator of the first antivirus program for Windows 95. In 2023, they joined forces to launch ELLIO, driven by a clear mission: to simplify cybersecurity operations and enhance the efficiency of security teams.

Our vision is simple - to free up security experts to focus on the threats that really matter, strengthening the cybersecurity posture of organizations worldwide.

Based in Prague, the city where the Robot was born.

Our headquarters is in Prague, one of Europe’s best cities to live in. Nestled in Central Europe’s thriving tech ecosystem, this region has not only produced global leaders like Avast, AVG, ESET, UiPath, or Bitdefender, but it’s also a hub for incredible tech talent.
‍
Prague is also where the word "robot" was born, thanks to writer Karel Capek’s 1920 play R.U.R. His idea has played a big role in the development of automation and AI, which are both crucial for today’s cybersecurity. That’s why ELLIO is proud to call this vibrant city home.
