Engineering cybersecurity
Minoan Security is a Swiss cybersecurity research & services company helping organizations harden their systems and gain observability across their cloud, on-prem, and AI environments.
Our Mission
Digital systems are only as secure as the infrastructure they run on. Our mission is to help organizations build and harden this infrastructure, from the kernel to the cloud.
Beyond professional services, Minoan Security Labs researches foundational problems in cybersecurity, with a focus on secure systems. This research translates into custom tooling and expertise for our customers.
Minoan Security also operates the Startup Cybersecurity Program, a program to assist early-stage companies in building their security right from day one.
Who we are
Minoan Security is based in Zurich, Switzerland, founded by Dimitrios Prasakis (CISSP, MSc Cybersecurity, Georgia Tech) after roles at financial institutions including SIX Group AG (the Swiss Infrastructure & Exchange) and Trade Republic Bank GmbH, securing systems that serve millions across Swiss and European (EU) financial markets.
We work with enterprise organizations hardening business-critical infrastructure and workloads. For startups building their security foundations, we offer flexible plans with the same level of expertise, designed to grow with them.
How we work
We hold ourselves to a few core ideas:
Open Security
We believe that security should be open and accessible to everyone. Whenever possible, we publish our research findings and release tools that we believe will help the industry become more secure.
Deep Over Broad
We prefer to do a few things well rather than be generalists. In the era of AI, depth of expertise matters more than ever and we'd rather go deep and deliver exceptional outcomes than spread thin.
Transparency & Consistency
When our customers place their cybersecurity in our hands, we own that responsibility with consistent, high-quality work and transparent services, two elements we consider fundamental to our reliability.
Research & Innovation
Security research is central to our operation: Minoan Security Labs is where we test ideas, build tools, and study emerging threats to remain at the edge of innovation and best serve our customers.
