Brazilian cybersecurity firm Huge Networks is moving into cloud computing.

The company aims to reach a turnover of 300 million reais ($56.2m) by 2026, adopting a strategy that combines proprietary technology, distributed infrastructure, and operations on a global scale.

Founded in 2014 on the basis of its creators’ practical experience with DDoS attacks on game servers, the company began to focus on serving Internet service providers (ISPs) and developed its own cloud computing solution.

This initiative involves deploying in data centers with infrastructure aimed at organizations that prioritize performance, local technical support, and digital autonomy. The company plans to be prepared for a possible IPO in 2031.

The cloud computing platform was launched in the second half of 2025. With architecture developed in Brazil, technical support in Portuguese, and billing in local currency, the solution was created entirely by Huge Networks, with a focus on high performance and low latency.

Huge Networks has legally established operations in Brazil, the United States, and European countries. In the period from 2023 to 2024, the company recorded 150 percent growth in turnover, which went from 12 million reais ($2.25m) to 30 million reais ($5.6m). For 2025, the projection is to reach 75 million reais ($14.06m) in revenue, reflecting continued commercial and operational expansion.

Between January and July 2025, approximately 1.5 million reais ($281,341) were invested in acquiring equipment and expanding the technological infrastructure. A significant part of these funds was allocated to setting up new data storage hubs in strategic urban centers, including Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, and Belo Horizonte. These hubs aim to improve the distribution of services, reduce latency, and strengthen regional service capacity.

Erick Nascimento, the organization’s current CEO, together with partners Eduardo Farinelli and Angelo Valle, combined their experience in the digital games sector with technical and commercial knowledge in the telecommunications area to develop a solution aimed at protecting regional operators against DDoS attacks – a type of malicious and massive traffic that aims to interrupt online services.

The company’s first physical structure was set up in 2014 in Miami, Florida. The location was chosen strategically, considering its geographical proximity to the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, which made it possible to offer lower latency and reduced bandwidth costs for internet providers in these areas.

Since then, the company has expanded its operations internationally, establishing a legal and technical presence in Latin American, North American, and European countries. The global operation was structured with its own attack mitigation infrastructure, allowing it to serve both the Brazilian and international markets. This architecture was designed to identify and block malicious traffic as close as possible to the source, helping to reduce operating costs and improve the performance of the services provided.

Huge has deployments in facilities owned by Equinix (São Paulo x2, Rio de Janeiro, Miami, Virginia), Teleport (Rio de Janeiro), Elea (Porto Alegre), Globenet (Fortaleza), CoreSite (Miami, Los Angeles), and Digital Realty (Frankfurt).

According to Erick Nascimento, CEO of Huge Networks, the company differentiates itself in the Brazilian market by developing and operating its own infrastructure and software solutions, unlike much of the sector, which acts as a reseller of foreign technologies. This approach allows the organization to offer high levels of security, operational efficiency, and direct technical support to customers.

Erick is an electrical engineer who studied in Italy and Brazil. He began his professional career at the Cisco Network Academy, focusing on cybersecurity and network infrastructure, including experience in the European military sector. Today, at the age of 30, he is in charge of Huge Networks’ expansion and leads the strategic efforts aimed at the company’s growth in the cloud computing and cybersecurity segments.
