Put together, these layers behave less like a software product and more like an operating system for regulated data.
That’s why a €900 billion-asset European bank and a rapidly growing cry-pto exchange both chose SDF to rip out legacy stacks. (10)
Competitors can replicate features, but duplicating a vertically integrated fabric with built-in confidential computing and live compliance telemetry is another story—one that takes years, not quarters.
In a world measuring breach fallout in billions of credentials, that time lag becomes HUBC’s moat. 🛡️
4️⃣ AI Muscle, Courtesy of BlackSwan
🤖
January 2025: HUBC closed an all-stock deal for BlackSwan Technologies, an AI analytics specialist already embedded in tier-one banks. (5)
- BlackSwan shareholders kept ≈ 31 % of the combined entity—a serious vote of confidence. (5)
- Management projects $25
million-plus in extra bookings during 2025 from joint pursuits. (8)
- Early proof: a cry-pto exchange signed a multi-year, ~ $25 million-per-year agreement for perpetual KYC/AML monitoring powered by the combined stack. (9)
Why it matters: Merging AI-driven compliance with always-encrypted data
turns regulatory pain into a pipeline. CFOs like one invoice, not five. 🤝
5️⃣Deep Roots Where Rules Are Toughest 🏛️
HUBC doesn’t chase easy wins—it builds beachheads in sectors where mistakes cost careers. Over 270 cybersecurity pros, many from elite Israeli intelligence units, already serve defense agencies, hospitals, and banks. (1)
- A €900 billion-asset European bank unified its AML stack on HUBC tech and went live this year. (1)
- Q1 2025 delivered $1.5 million-plus in fresh contracts across healthcare, finance, and energy. (3)
Why it
matters: Once HUBC clears an audit, the platform sticks like velcro. Switching costs soar, competitors stay outside the door. 🛡️
6️⃣Storm Clouds That Rain Budget 🌧️
Global cybersecurity spend is set to top $212 billion in 2025. (7)
Cybercrime damage is projected to reach $10.5 trillion a year by 2025. (6)
Boards increasingly treat three pillars as non-negotiable:
Zero-trust architecture 🛡️
End-to-end encryption 🔐
AI-driven compliance 📊
Why it matters: HUBC’s portfolio sits at the crossroads of all three pillars—right when budgets are exploding and reputations ride on airtight security. Tailwinds don’t get much stronger. 🌅
