Vooruit Enhances Cybersecurity with Infostealer Monitoring
Amsterdam, Wednesday, 8 October 2025.
Dutch IT company Vooruit partners with Passguard to monitor infostealers, aiming to mitigate growing cyber threats by enhancing visibility into compromised devices and data traded on criminal markets.
An Innovative Approach to Cybersecurity
On 1 October 2025, Dutch IT service provider Vooruit announced a partnership with cyber intelligence firm Passguard to integrate infostealer monitoring into its security offerings. This initiative addresses the growing threat of infostealers, which are malicious software programs designed to capture sensitive information from infected devices. The collaboration allows Vooruit to provide its clients with crucial visibility into devices compromised by infostealers, whose data is being sold on criminal marketplaces [1][2].
How the Monitoring Solution Works
Passguard’s solution leverages its expertise in mapping compromised devices and data, offering insights into hostnames, IP addresses, and session details, such as usernames and passwords. This process enables organizations to quickly detect compromised session tokens, even in environments protected by multi-factor authentication. Vooruit translates these insights into actionable steps, allowing their customers to swiftly regain control and mitigate the impact of such infections [1][2].
The Importance of Enhanced Security
Infostealers have grown into a significant cybersecurity threat, with the number of incidents increasing sixteenfold over the past five years. The collaboration between Vooruit and Passguard is a timely response to this escalating threat, particularly in the Netherlands, where cybercrime is on the rise. This partnership not only aids in the immediate detection and response to infostealer infections but also strengthens organizations’ defenses against potential future attacks [1][2][3].
Building Resilience Against Cyber Threats
The joint efforts of Vooruit and Passguard aim to bolster the resilience of Dutch organizations against cyber threats. As Earth Grob, Business Manager Cybersecurity at Vooruit, highlights, the ability to monitor and respond to infostealer threats provides a critical layer of security for customers. This initiative is a vital component in the broader strategy to enhance the cybersecurity framework within the Netherlands, ensuring that organizations are not only reactive but also proactive in their defense strategies [1][3].
