ABOUT US

We show defenders what attackers are doing before it becomes a breach

Lupovis turns real attacker activity, captured by sensors around the world, into preemptive intelligence that helps security teams act before impact.

We Build the Future of Cybersecurity

We craft cyber deception products to help professionals around the world to actively defend their organizations.

Our mission. Lupovis gives security teams a different kind of intelligence, built from what attackers are actually doing rather than what advisories predict. We capture hostile activity as it happens, so defenders can see the threat early and act before it becomes a breach.

Gain the upper hand

Lupovis uses deception to draw attackers in and record what they do. Every interaction becomes evidence you can act on, so you can block hostile infrastructure, patch what is being exploited and keep attackers away from your crown jewels.

Our story

The research begins

At the University of Strathclyde, Dr Xavier Bellekens and his team began researching better ways to detect attackers inside networks and capture their activity as it happened. The goal was to give security teams the evidence needed to understand an intrusion and respond effectively.

From research to product

The team joined the Cyber Security Academic Startup Accelerator Programme, CyberASAP, and secured funding and support from Scottish Enterprise and CENSIS. This helped turn the research into technology that organisations could deploy.

Lupovis is founded and secures its first investment

Dr Xavier Bellekens and Professor Ivan Andonovic founded Lupovis in June 2021 as a University of Strathclyde spinout. Named after the Latin words for wolf and sheep, the company secured more than £615,000 in pre-seed investment from a syndicate co-led by Techstart Ventures and Nauta Capital, alongside the University of Strathclyde. Lupovis also won £50,000 from Scottish EDGE and joined NCSC for Startups.

Volta Ventures and Investlink join

Lupovis secured investment from Volta Ventures and Investlink, strengthening its investor backing as the company developed its technology and expanded its focus on intelligence gathered from real attacker activity.

Investment from a Tier 1 Financial Institution

A Tier 1 Financial Institution invested in Lupovis, joining an investor base that includes Volta Ventures, Investlink, Techstart Ventures, Nauta Capital and the University of Strathclyde.

Introducing Lupovis Insights

Lupovis Insights brings intelligence from our global sensor network into a platform built for security teams. It helps organisations investigate attacker infrastructure, understand targeting patterns and prioritise vulnerabilities using evidence of exploitation. Teams can use these insights alongside their existing security tools to act earlier and focus their resources where they matter most.
