Read full description

VU Security provides solutions for corporate-level clients, government agencies, and end-users, helping to safeguard against a range of digital threats including phishing, pharming, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The company's business model has evolved into a SaaS-based, transactional approach, offering consumption-based pricing to clients in sectors such as finance, retail, and government. This model allows for flexibility in serving a diverse client base that includes major financial institutions like Banco Santander. A significant portion of VU's revenue, over 60%, is generated through strategic partnerships with large firms, which has enabled expansion into 23 countries without direct investment in each market.

The company's core offering revolves around creating secure and frictionless digital experiences. Its product suite includes solutions for fraud analysis, multi-factor authentication (MFA), voice and facial recognition, and digital onboarding. VU's technology evaluates user behavior to protect against attacks and provides robust identity verification by combining traditional cybersecurity controls with geolocation, machine learning, and biometric analysis. A key product, Video Call Identity, is an API platform that integrates human identity verification into video conferencing software to ensure participant authenticity from start to finish. The platform is designed to be flexible, supporting on-premise and SaaS integration, and is compatible with various software providers, holding certifications from companies like Microsoft, Cisco, and Juniper.
