This double recognition marks the start of 2026. Squad is not only listed among the " Champions of Growth 2026" in Les Echos' annual ranking, but has also climbed to 40th place in the Champions of Long-Term Growth ranking.
This special distinction, which analyzes performance over the last decade, validates a strong conviction at Squad: our growth is not just a temporary sprint. It is structural, controlled, and the result of deliberate strategic choices.
From the French Top 3 to European ambitions
In an exclusive interview with Les Echos, our co-founder Marc Brua looks back on the journey since 2010. In thirteen years, Squad has risen to become one of the top three French players in cybersecurity. This momentum accelerated in 2024 thanks to a targeted external growth strategy, notably through the acquisitions of integrator Newlode and critical systems expert Scassi.
But as Marc Brua explains in the business daily, we are already looking to the future. With a team of nearly 950 employees, including 800 consultants, Squad has a major strike force to achieve its next goal: to be among the top five in Europe within five years.
Expertise at the heart of critical issues
The Les Echos article also highlights our strategic positioning at the heart of "Modern Cybersecurity." Our longstanding presence in the defense sector (which today accounts for a third of our revenue) and among major industrial companies demonstrates the trust placed in our experts to secure critical environments.
Marc Brua also addresses contemporary challenges, from the transformative impact of generative AI on attack and oversight mechanisms to the need for sovereign solutions in the face of American-Israeli technological dominance.
A collective success
While this trajectory has been praised by the business press, it is above all a testament to the success of our teams. From consultants to support staff, it is the commitment of each and every one of them that has enabled Squad to grow without ever compromising on its high standards or corporate culture.
