Why Lelops

Built on hard truths

Companies invest heavily in web security platforms, but struggle to run them effectively over time.
The real risk isn't a lack of tools, but the degradation of security posture caused by human error and manual processes.
The gap between your security policy and what is actually running in production is why you get exposed and performance tanks.
The gap between your security policy and what is actually running in production is why you get exposed and performance tanks.
You cannot staff your way out of a bad setup; throwing more engineers at complexity doesn't fix the root problem.

Our team

Behind the platform

Wai-Hong Tchen

CEO and co-founder

With 25 years at HP, Cisco, VMware, and Cloudflare, Wai-Hong knows the friction of running infrastructure at scale. As an integrator, he also lived the hard truth that purchasing security platforms is simple, but operating them reliably is not. He drives Lelops to bridge the gap between theoretical policies and real-world execution, ensuring the platform solves the exact resource constraints holding IT teams back.

Christophe Pronier

CTO and co-founder

Christophe is the architect behind Lelops’ automation engine, bringing 20 years of experience in CDN, WAF, and global web security. Having operated platforms like Cloudflare, Akamai, and Fastly for high-stakes finance and retail sectors, he knows exactly how to translate rigid compliance rules into resilient code. As a former systems architect, he understands the daily constraints SREs face. At Lelops, he builds with an operator-first mindset, ensuring the platform prioritizes safe, measurable execution over theoretical protection.

Operator-First

Why trust Lelops?

Lelops is built by a team with decades of experience designing, integrating, and operating web security and performance platforms in real production environments.

Our Identity

From ancient myth to modern Ops

Inspired by Laelaps, the hound of Greek mythology destined to always catch its prey. Lelops represents the shift from "attempting" security to "guaranteeing" it.

Laelaps

We embody the "inevitable catch",
success is not a probability, it is
a guarantee.

Ops

The shift from "Laelaps" to "Lelops"
shows our focus on continuous,
seamless system operations.

The Relentless Operator. Performance and security

For you

Why does it matter to you?

In the modern web environment, "monitoring" is passive and "attempting" to stop threats is not enough. When your systems are under attack or under load, you cannot afford a guardian that might succeed. You need the spirit of Laelaps. You need inevitability.
Lelops was founded to bring this definitive closure to IT operations. We do not just chase down performance issues or security threats; by design and by destiny, we catch them.

Never miss the mark on performance and security
