ProductX - The Virtual AppSec Team
Context
Security is a low priority for developers due to fragmented tools, complex workflows, and slow remediation. Despite the shift-left movement, adoption remains limited without developer-friendly solutions.
Problem
Security processes often hinder developer productivity, leaving vulnerabilities unaddressed for extended periods. Existing tools are fragmented and fail to offer a seamless, developer-first experience.
Ambition
ProductX is the first Virtual AppSec Team, automating remediation, providing in-context security guidance, and ensuring compliance while integrating seamlessly into developer workflows.

DataX - IT & Security Data Intelligence Redefined
Context
Cybersecurity tools generate vast amounts of fragmented data, making it hard to track security indicators and ensure compliance. Valuable logs from SaaS and cloud platforms remain underutilized, limiting efficient analysis.
Problem
Siloed security data reduces visibility and weakens AI-driven threat detection. Organizations rely on foreign solutions, increasing risks of vendor lock-in and strategic dependency.
Ambition
DataX unifies cybersecurity data, enabling clear security metrics, AI-driven analysis, and advanced threat hunting while ensuring European data sovereignty.

New Identity - Privacy-Preserving Digital Identity
Context
Platforms must verify identities for compliance and security, but centralized data storage creates major risks. Cryptographic advances like Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) enable identity verification without exposing personal data.
Problem
Traditional KYC processes are intrusive, increase security risks, and limit user control. With AI and deepfakes on the rise, verifying human identity is crucial for trust in digital interactions.
Ambition
New Identity enables decentralized, privacy-first identity verification using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verified Credentials (VCs), reducing compliance burdens while ensuring security and user control.

Get Ready - Cyber Resilience for Modern Threats
Context
Cyberattacks are inevitable, yet many companies lack actionable crisis response plans. AI can enhance preparedness, but no integrated solution bridges preparation and real-time response.
Problem
Organizations struggle to restore critical functions after an attack, and crisis training remains theoretical. Teams face coordination challenges, delaying recovery efforts.
Ambition
Get Ready provides a secure fallback work environment and an AI-driven platform to assess cyber resilience, generate readiness scores, and enable effective crisis response through realistic simulations.

Intelligent Security - Democratizing and Automating cybersecurity with AI-driven tools
Context
Cybercrime is pervasive, and the technical tasks required for effective cybersecurity are overwhelmingly complex.
Problem
The cybersecurity industry needs more than three million professionals. The field's complexity and jargon deter many potential entrants, exacerbating the shortage and leaving systems vulnerable.
Ambition
Intelligent Security aims to bridge this gap by utilizing AI to educate, explain, and automate security operations, making cybersecurity approachable for everyone and saving valuable time.

AI Trust - Building trust in AI around us
Context
Generative AI has become a fundamental component of enterprise and consumer software, raising crucial questions about trust, security, and ethics.
Problem
AI struggles with data integrity, confidentiality, ethical concerns, hallucinations, bias, and intellectual property protection.
Ambition
AI Trust solutions tackle these challenges by addressing data integrity and confidentiality, ethical concerns, bias, and intellectual property protection. We aim to develop a platform that ensures AI is secure and trustworthy.

Beautiful Smalls - Protect all businesses from cybercriminals
Context
Small and medium-sized enterprises, which form 90% of Europe's economy, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks, often resulting in job losses and critical service disruptions.
Problem
These businesses face catastrophic disruptions from ransomware and other attacks due to limited and outdated security measures, such as antivirus and firewalls.
Ambition
Beautiful Smalls aims to democratize cybersecurity by developing an affordable, comprehensive platform beyond traditional solutions. Our vision is to empower these businesses to defend against cyber threats effectively, ensuring cybersecurity for all.
