Sarenet has presented its latest financial results highlighting that it closed the last financial year with a 2% growth in turnover, exceeding 28 million euros, and with an increase in business profitability of more than 8%. The evolution of the year has been marked by the good performance of cybersecurity and hosting services, especially in the cloud, in a context of acceleration of digitalization and parallel increase in risks for organizations.
In terms of geographical distribution, the company continues to diversify its activity outside the Basque Country, with greater growth than in the territory of origin, exceeding two-thirds of total turnover. For Jon Arberas, general director of Sarenet, “the evolution of the business is healthy and balanced, with no special exposure to a specific service, territory, client or sector. We are also very satisfied with the contribution to the business of the more than 350 partners that make up our indirect sales channel nationwide.”
Growth of the cybersecurity area
By business lines, Sarenet has experienced especially relevant progress in cybersecurity, with growth close to 20%, driven by segmentation projects, SOC services, audits, maintenance and support. Hosting services have also stood out, with an increase of more than 10%, with cloud solutions taking center stage. In parallel, the network business has remained at similar levels to the previous year.
Looking ahead to 2026, Sarenet estimates growth of around 7%, with the aim of reaching 30 million euros.
2026: business continuity as a critical priority
As Arberas highlights, business continuity has gone from being an “extra” to becoming a critical need for companies of all sizes, especially after recent incidents that have revealed lack of preparation for contingencies. “In 2026 we will see a growing priority in business continuity and risk management; more rigorous operational resilience plans will gain weight on the agendas of IT managers,” he points out.
In this scenario, the company foresees that the cloud will evolve towards more sophisticated models, in which hybrid and multicloud approaches will predominate, combining public, private and on-premise cloud to balance flexibility, performance, cost and regulatory compliance. Arberas also highlights the role of data governance and compliance as increasingly determining criteria in decision-making.
Connectivity and security from the infrastructure
Sarenet also highlights the need to reinforce high-quality connectivity as the basis of critical services. “As processes are digitized and data resides outside the corporate network, connectivity must be guaranteed with sized links, clear SLAs, redundancy, alternative physical paths and without single points of failure,” explains Arberas. In this sense, he warns that there are still organizations – especially SMEs – that contract connectivity with “almost residential” criteria, assuming a high risk.
In terms of threats, the company anticipates the continuity of denial of service (DDoS) attacks and increasing pressure derived from the use of robots supported by AI to scan and attack infrastructures. At this point, Sarenet emphasizes that cybersecurity must be approached as a global solution where the network, data centers, cloud services and people intervene, and in which the infrastructure provider plays an active role through traffic analysis, anomaly detection and containment measures at the network perimeter.
Roadmap: new CPD and own FULL OMV mobile
In its roadmap for 2026, Sarenet advances two milestones: the launch of a new CPD, scheduled to open soon, and the launch in the second half of 2026 of its own FULL OMV (Virtual Mobile Operator), with the capacity to deploy new OMV service providers. The company frames these projects as a reinforcement of its global proposal for hosting, connectivity, mobile services and cybersecurity, with an expansion of the team and new certifications, as well as the incorporation of audit services in the field of security.

“When an IT service fails, the reputational impact can be devastating. The combination of innovation and resilience will be decisive for the survival of organizations in the face of any crisis,” concludes Arberas.
