About

Hoxhunt is a Helsinki-founded cybersecurity company, established in 2016, that operates a SaaS platform designed to reduce human risk in organisations. Its core proposition is turning employees into active participants in cyber defence rather than treating them as liabilities to be managed. The platform combines AI-driven personalisation, behavioural science, and gamification to deliver security training that adapts to each user - rewarding progress rather than penalising mistakes.

Beyond simulation, Hoxhunt also offers real threat detection and prevention tools, positioning the product as operational security infrastructure as much as a training environment. The platform sits within the enterprise security training market, targeting organisations seeking to build measurable security culture at scale.

The company has grown at over 50% year-on-year and now employs more than 230 people across offices in Finland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It describes itself as one of Europe's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups.

Internally, Hoxhunt emphasises outcome-focused work, direct communication, and employee ownership. Teams are expected to take initiative and operate with a degree of autonomy, with performance measured by results rather than time invested.

HRTx, Inc.

In 2020, the founders of HRTx, Inc. recognized a critical gap in the HR landscape: traditional HR approaches were failing to keep pace with the digital transformation sweeping through businesses across the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Companies struggled to adapt to remote work, agile methodologies, and the changing expectations of a tech-savvy workforce while maintaining compliance and operational excellence. HRTx was born from this realization - a premiere HR consulting group that would 'Take IT Forward' by integrating technology directly into HR functions. They built a comprehensive suite of services spanning HR digitization, business transformation, employee engagement, and strategic innovation, all designed to help organizations create better work, workplaces, and workforces. From their headquarters in Makati, they've expanded operations to Thailand, serving as the 'API' that connects Filipino tech talent with global markets while helping companies navigate the complexities of modern people management through research-backed, technology-enabled solutions.

Akeyless

Akeyless is a cloud-native identity security platform designed to protect machine identities, AI agents, and human users through a unified system. The platform combines secrets management, certificate lifecycle automation (PKI), privileged access management (PAM), identity governance, and identity visibility and intelligence - all accessible through a single UI and API. Its architecture rests on a patented cryptographic foundation called Distributed Fragments Cryptography (DFC), which is both zero-knowledge and post-quantum–ready. The company has raised nearly $100 million from investors including JVP, Team8, NGP Capital, and Deutsche Bank. The platform is built around the observation that roughly 85% of identities in modern enterprises are machine- or AI-based. Akeyless addresses this by offering secretless access patterns and workload federation alongside traditional credential management, consolidating capabilities that organisations have historically sourced from multiple point solutions. The company claims its platform reduces operational costs by 70% compared to legacy vault solutions. Akeyless serves Fortune 500 companies across a range of industries, including pharma, finance, gaming, adtech, retail, manufacturing, and technology. The platform holds several compliance certifications: FIPS 140-2, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and NIST SP 800-53. Engineers working at Akeyless operate across technical domains including cryptography, cloud-native infrastructure, PKI, and identity and access management.
