Lupovis

Lupovis is a cybersecurity company that captures real attacker activity observed in the wild and converts it into contextual intelligence for security operations centre (SOC), cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and vulnerability management teams. Its platform is positioned to show organisations who is targeting them, what parts of their estate are being probed, and what response to take before an incident occurs. Signals are described as spanning the attack lifecycle from scanning and validation through to exploitation attempts, with each signal accompanied by context on the actor, activity, timing and method.

The platform links observed activity to vulnerabilities, threat groups, tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) and adversary infrastructure, and filters that activity according to a customer's own assets and targeting so teams can prioritise. Stated use cases include vulnerability intelligence (prioritising actively exploited CVEs rather than relying on CVSS and EPSS scores alone, ahead of KEV alerts), threat-led defence, threat hunting supported by curated SIEM rules mapped to observed attacker activity, SOC efficiency through blocking hostile infrastructure before it reaches the environment, insider threat detection by comparing internal behaviour against attacker tradecraft, and threat-led penetration testing informed by tradecraft seen in the customer's industry.

Earlier company material describes an approach based on deception: deploying decoys in client infrastructure to detect and deter threats early, using AI, manipulation and gamification to draw attackers away from sensitive data and intellectual property while recording the techniques, tactics and procedures they use and passing them to security analysts. The company has framed this as reducing false positives and alert fatigue for SOC analysts and as increasing the level of certainty attackers must operate with.

Founding story

Lupovis was founded in Glasgow by Dr Xavier Bellekens and Professor Ivan Andonovic, both academic members of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, who together bring 20 years of experience in cyber security and machine learning. Bellekens serves as chief executive.

Business model

Lupovis sells a security intelligence platform to enterprise and public sector security teams, offering a free entry point alongside a sales-led motion built around booked product demonstrations.

Latest developments

Company materials describe participation in NCSC For Startups, where Lupovis sought to enhance the training of its systems using information and telemetry provided by the NCSC to improve its adversary-luring strategies.
