Seed
£615K

The pre seed round was co led by Techstart Ventures and Nauta Capital to support team expansion and platform development.

"We are thrilled with the opportunities this investment creates to develop Lupovis’ dynamic deception capabilities. Our system uses artificial intelligence to create scenarios which mirror the existing infrastructure of an organisation and engages the attacker into believing they are progressing towards assets of value, turning networks from a flock of sheep to a pack of wolves. We are in a unique position where we have unrivalled data on attacker techniques, methods and behaviour. We will feed this data into our platform, so our customers will always remain one step ahead of attackers, predicting their next move, long before they actually make it."
— Xavier Bellekens, CEO
