HISTORY
For 45 years, Polish Defence Holding has been operating on foreign markets and offering not only Polish armaments, but also civil engineering machinery, including machines for agriculture, mining industry, and railway industry. It was the main partner of the Ministry of National Defence in the modernisation of the Polish Army.
One of the greatest achievements of the Polish companies belonging to the Group was the modernisation of post-Soviet equipment used by the Polish Army to the NATO operational requirements. Thanks to this, the Polish companies became able to repair and modernise this equipment that is still popular worldwide.
It was also an active participant of the modernisation programmes, developed by the Polish Ministry of National Defence, and provided solutions and military systems.
Until 2014, Polish Defence Holding (formerly Bumar Group) was a capital group consisting of over 20 domestic and foreign defence sector companies, thus being the largest armaments manufacturer and supplier in Poland. In 2014, 20 companies of PDH have been consolidated into the Polish Armaments Group, established by the Polish government. The company is the largest shareholder of Polish Armaments Group (Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa) – a national defence corporation.
The main aspect of the company’s activity is trade on both internal and external market. Polish Defence Holding is still the largest Polish exporter of armaments and military equipment and a partner of Polish Ministry of National Defence.

CYBERSECURITY
The changing environment under the influence of new social phenomena and technologies creates a new quality also in the area of warfare. The issue of cybersecurity not only applies to purely technical issues of critical infrastructure protection and sensitive data sets, but also to the area of identification and neutralization of threats, which has so far been the domain of intelligence activities. The speed of information transfer and wide availability of social networks means that combating certain phenomena requires expanding the understanding of existing concepts of security threats.
We offer:
- security systems
- detection systems
- response systems
Alongside with EXATEL we offer our clients convenient foundations for creating an efficient cybersecurity system. Having that in mind we added to our portfolio new service called SOC Starter in which we grant access to our Security Operations Center where we provide permanent, and comprehensive analysis of incoming data from sources located inside client’s infrastructure. Standard sources include firewalls, DNS, DHCP, IPS, and NAC systems. All events concerning data security that were identified by our automatized programs are daily analyzed by our specialist with regard to potential security breaches. the client is informed about serious threats as soon they are identified by our staff workers. Other events are thoroughly described in monthly reports. These reports make it possible to identify and analyze potential threats for the data security. One of the biggest advantages of the SOC Starter offer is that it is specifically designed to be implemented on clients’ infrastructure lowering implementation and maintenance costs. If the client does not have sufficient infrastructure, we can provide it as a part of separate contract.
