About Reykur

Finding the smoke

Reykur is building the future of proactive security, helping organizations identify architectural threats before they become costly vulnerabilities.

Who we are

A Swiss security company, built for modern architecture.

Reykur AG is a cybersecurity company based in Zürich, building an automated, continuous threat modeling platform, on a stubborn belief that security belongs in design, not in clean-up.

By connecting to the artifacts your team already has (tickets, design docs, IaC, and code), Reykur maps data flows, surfaces threats, and tracks controls as your systems evolve.

With design partners

Most breaches begin as design flaws no scanner will ever see.

Security is a design problem, not a patch problem. We catch it where it starts: in the architecture, before code ships, so the smoke never becomes a fire.

The name

reykur/ˈreɪ.kʏr/

Ethos

The principles we build on

01

Radical Transparency

We deliver the uncomfortable truth. Security cannot work without clarity. Attackers already know, so it’s time you did too.

HonestyClarityNo theatre
02

Architectural Integrity

Security is a design problem, not a patch problem. We build for the architecture, not just the software stack on top of it.

Design-firstSystems thinking
03

Proactive Vigilance

The smoke is our signal. We operate at the edge of emerging threats, never waiting for the threat to evolve into an incident.

Gratitude & community

The International Beer Bar

A Place We Call Home

Much of the early work on Reykur took place within the walls of The International beer bar in Zurich. The staff and regulars have been incredibly supportive throughout our journey, providing not just excellent hospitality but genuine encouragement as this vision took shape.

We are grateful for the community that welcomed us and the conversations that helped refine our thinking. Some of the best ideas emerge in unexpected places.

In loving memory of Andy, whose warmth and spirit will always be part of this story.
