Airbus is a European aerospace group formed in 1970 as a consortium of French, German, British and Spanish manufacturers to build a competitor to the American aircraft industry, and now the largest commercial aircraft maker in the world. Its passenger jets run from the A220 through the best-selling A320 family to the A350 widebody, built in an unusual pan-European industrial system where major sections are made in different countries and flown to final assembly lines. Beyond airliners it is the largest civil helicopter maker, builds telecommunications and observation satellites, and supplies military aircraft including the A400M transport.

HQ: Eden Prairie, United States • Endpoint Security • Security Operations • Managed Security • 201-500 employees • Est. 2012 • Startup • Trust A • Hiring 102, 11 new
Arctic Wolf is an American security company founded in 2012 that sells security operations as a service to organisations too small to run a security operations centre of their own. Rather than selling software for a customer's own analysts to operate, it assigns a named concierge security team that monitors the customer's environment, investigates alerts and tells them what to fix, using telemetry collected from tools the customer already owns. Headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and privately held at a multi-billion dollar valuation, it acquired Cylance from BlackBerry in 2025 to add its own endpoint agent.
