Kaduu AG announced the closing of its seed investment round

Kaduu provides darknet and deep web monitoring for organizations with its threat intelligence services. The darknet monitoring solution identifies data leaks after hacker attacks. Kaduu also has a preventive protection capability. Among others, various underground hacker forums are monitored in real-time and discussions on attack preparations are used to prevent security incidents. The offering is supported by a wide range of monitoring modules such as social media, domain registrations, certificate registrations, IoT, Git etc.

The funding round was led by the Swiss venture capital investor Spicehaus Partners. Daniel Andres, co-founder and Partner at Spicehaus Partners, commented: “Cybersecurity solutions become exponentially sought after as any business independently of its size can suffer from hacker attacks that can lead to data loss and business set-backs.”

The investment round was completed by Michael Meli, Group Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Julius Baer, who also joined the board of directors at Kaduu.

Oliver Münchow, co-founder and CEO of Kaduu, said: “We are delighted to announce the successful completion of our funding round. The investment will enable the rapid growth of our client base and product range. We are convinced that our solution can greatly increase the cybersecurity levels of our customers and become an integral part of any corporate’s IT infrastructure.
