The 5 most promising Swiss Security startups of 2023, according to investors

The 100 most innovative and promising Swiss startups are picked by a panel of 100 leading investors and industry experts and are revealed at the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award. This year, Security has 5 representative startups in the TOP 100. Their solutions embrace areas such as data collaborations and confidential computing: Here you learn more about 5 emerging companies that promise to redefine the future of Security.

It seems like cyber attacks are breaking the headlines more frequently than ever before. Let's see together how these startups' solutions aim to revolutionize the Security industry!

The annual ranking of the TOP 100 Swiss Startups has become a benchmark in Switzerland’s startup ecosystem — and beyond. Every year, a panel of 100 leading investors and startup experts chooses the 100 most innovative and promising Swiss startups. Each jury member nominates 10 Swiss startups that are fewer than five years old and show the greatest commercial potential. The first-placed company receives 10 points, the second nine points, and so on. The individual rankings are compiled to generate the final TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award ranking. In parallel, the TOP 100 Public Voting allows everyone with a LinkedIn account to cast one vote and choose the most promising startup per vertical.

Discover the 5 Security startups that impressed the TOP 100 Jury and the public the most with their innovative solutions.



Tune Insight, #13
Whether large-scale studies in the medical field across different hospitals or the use of insurance data for value-based healthcare – data protection must be guaranteed in all cases. Tune Insight’s platform provides an environment that ensures secure data collaboration, as personal data cannot be viewed by the other institutions involved. The data is evaluated in encrypted form via the EPFL startup’s platform; only the aggregated data is visible to everyone.

CYSEC, #25
In spring 2023, the Vaud-based cyber
security startup launched its new product ARCA SATCOM, which is used to secure internet communication via satellite. The patent-pending technology was developed as part of ESA’s ARTES 4S programme and is now being integrated
by numerous satellite communications providers.

Saporo, #30
Simulate a cyber-attack with intelligent software and use it to increase security precautions: that is exactly what Saporo does. The Lausanne startup serves healthcare, banking, and insurance companies. An analysis of several customers using the product has shown a reduction in the attack surface by up to 80% within three months. That has attracted investors: Saporo raised CHF 4 million in seed financing at the end of 2022.

Decentriq (dq technologies), #45
Hermetically sealed data rooms – data clean rooms – allow companies to combine data from different sources and analyse it in encrypted form. One provider is cyber security startup Decentriq, which this spring concluded a pilot project for protection against phishing emails with major stakeholders in the Swiss financial sector.

Threatray, #96
Hacker attacks and data theft are among the daily challenges of small and large companies. The spin-off from Bern University of Applied Sciences sells search and analysis tools that can be used to effectively detect and tackle such threats. Its customers include InfoGuard, a leading Swiss provider of cyber security solutions, and large companies such as Swiss Post.


PUBLIC VOTING: Integritee
