The Record: How war shifted the plans of one Ukrainian cybersecurity entrepreneur

 

“Each person brings their local experience in cyber defense and it helps to better understand and identify cyber threats.”

  • Founded in 2015 by tech entrepreneur Andrii Bezverkhyi and two of his Ukrainian colleagues, cybersecurity startup SOC Prime rewards researchers for creating threat-detection algorithms, marketing itself as the Spotify of the cybersecurity world, drawing a parallel to how the Swedish audio streaming giant pays royalties to artists. It works with 600 freelance researchers globally.
  • The company’s headquarters are in Boston, most of its team — more than 80 people — worked from Ukraine until Russia invaded earlier this year. Many employees have since moved to a newly-opened office in Spain, but some, including Bezverkhyi, stayed behind (now in Lviv region).
