About

On a mission for a simpler and more secure network

Our company is built on the conviction that secure access should be simple, invisible, and effective. Chimere empowers organizations to adopt Zero Trust by providing a seamless, scalable solution that protects users and resources — without compromising on usability.

Our mission and story

We strongly believe that the future of cybersecurity lies in simplicity, transparency, and continuous adaptation. Security should no longer be a barrier but an enabler — empowering teams to work freely while ensuring that access remains controlled, observable, and compliant. Our mission is to give organizations the tools they need to protect what matters, while keeping control firmly in their hands.

Launched in late 2019 by Guillaume-Alexandre and Gabriel, Chimere is a French start-up that offers a new approach to cybersecurity. After 2 years of incubation within the Thales group, Chimere by Thales became a spin-off of Thales to accelerate its growth and forge its own path.
