Company profile

researched Aug 2026

RaySecur develops security screening technology based on terahertz (T-ray) imaging, marketed under the MailSecur product name. The system penetrates sealed mail and parcels to produce a real-time "4D" view — a live three-dimensional perspective plus full motion — allowing operators to identify concealed anomalies before items reach people or facilities. The company positions T-ray imaging as complementary to, or a replacement for, X-ray and metal-detection screening, which it states are less effective at revealing low-density materials such as powders, liquids and drug-soaked paper.

MailSecur combines T-ray imaging hardware with 4D visualization and detection software intended to screen for multiple categories of concealed threats, including contraband and CBRNE threats. The company states that the system has received a Designation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the SAFETY Act. Alongside the product, RaySecur publishes educational material such as a Contraband Field Guide and Corrections Field Guide covering industry risk, DHS guidelines and mail-security program practices, and it is pursuing an NSF-funded AI program for terahertz threat detection.

Business model

RaySecur sells the MailSecur screening system to institutional and enterprise buyers, supported by a direct sales organization and pre-sales security specialists — described as former military explosives experts and law enforcement narcotics officers — who conduct live virtual demonstrations of contraband and CBRNE detection.

Traction

Published customer references include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which deployed MailSecur to screen special mail (legal, media and business mail) after digitizing standard inmate mail; Moderna, a global biotechnology firm using MailSecur as part of an enterprise-wide security strategy for inbound mail; and a major 2020 U.S. presidential candidate whose security team used MailSecur to screen mail for himself, his family and staff. The company also cites usage by more than 25 state departments of corrections and federal agencies and by four of the five most valuable companies in the world.

Latest developments

In November 2025 the company issued a funding announcement involving IQT together with a momentum press release. In March 2026 it announced the launch of a digital platform as part of a $1.5M NSF-funded AI program for terahertz threat detection. Scheduled 2026 event appearances include Fed SuperNova (August 2026), the NBA Security Conference (August–September 2026) and Global Security Exchange (September 2026), and it released a 2026 Contraband Field Guide and 2026 Corrections Field Guide.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market

Market position

RaySecur describes itself as the leader in T-ray imaging and MailSecur as the standard in corporate mail security, citing adoption by four of the five most valuable companies in the world and more than 25 state departments of corrections plus federal agencies.

Differentiation rests on terahertz imaging's ability to detect low-density threats — powders, liquids, drug-soaked paper — that the company says X-ray and metal-detection screening miss; real-time 4D (live 3-D plus motion) visualization rather than static images; screening without harmful radiation; multiple detection capabilities in a single system; and a DHS SAFETY Act Designation as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology.

Technology

The core technology is terahertz (T-ray) imaging, which the company states penetrates sealed mail and deliveries without harmful radiation and reveals hidden anomalies in real time. T-rays are described as particularly suited to detecting low-density materials including powders, liquids and drug-soaked paper. The imaging hardware is paired with intelligent 4D visualization and detection software in a single system, and the company is developing an AI capability for terahertz threat detection through a $1.5M NSF-funded program, including a digital platform launched in March 2026.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise and government sales, with demo requests and phone contact via the company website, five-minute virtual demonstrations led by security specialists, downloadable field guides and case studies used as lead generation, and presence at industry events such as Global Security Exchange (GSX), the NBA Security Conference and Fed SuperNova.

Three primary segments: corrections and public safety agencies, where the company cites use by more than 25 state departments of corrections and federal agencies, including for preserving the privacy of legal mail and privileged communications; corporate security and executive protection teams, including Fortune-class enterprises; and government operations, facilities and employees.
