About Netleaf

Cyber security is more than just defence – it’s about visibility, control, and proactive strategy.

Since 2011, we’ve been on the forefront of delivering integrated cybersecurity solutions, evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of modern enterprises.

With a focus on long-term value and tailored solutions, we help businesses stay ahead of threats, ensuring their networks and data remain secure, manageable, and future-proof.

Our story

2011

Netleaf was founded in 2011 with a clear mission: cyber security and networks should be both secure and manageable. From the start, we took an independent approach – no vendor lock-ins, no sales-driven strategies – focusing instead on long-term value and addressing the real needs of our clients.

As we grew, so did our expertise. From networking services to email and perimeter security, firewalls, and cloud security, we evolved from a security integrator into a trusted cyber security advisor. But as digital threats became more sophisticated, we recognised that security alone wasn’t enough – visibility and control were essential. This realisation led us to establish our own Security Operations Center (SOC), shifting cyber security from a reactive defense to a proactive strategy.

Strength Through Collaboration

In 2022, we took a significant step forward by merging with Core ICT to form Syntory. This union combined Netleaf’s deep expertise in cybersecurity with Core ICT’s infrastructure knowledge, allowing us to provide businesses with a more holistic IT security approach.

Building on this foundation, in 2024, we joined AXI, a leading IT services provider. This merger strengthens AXI’s cyber security capabilities while expanding Netleaf’s reach and service portfolio. Through AXI, we now have access to expertise in Business Intelligence, Digital Workplace, Hybrid Cloud & Infrastructure, Application Integration, and Networking & Security – enabling us to offer even more comprehensive solutions to our clients.

Looking Ahead

This evolution allows us to extend our services beyond Belgium, reaching businesses in the Netherlands and beyond. More than ever, our focus remains on delivering integrated cybersecurity and IT solutions tailored to the challenges of modern enterprises.

From an independent vision to a trusted industry leader, Netleaf continues to grow – ensuring businesses stay secure, connected, and in control.
