Identiqa in Cyprus: who builds it, and who answers for it.

A German-American cybersecurity company with engineering teams in Limassol and Nicosia

The people who lead Identiqa built the platform themselves. The 2U AuraLink appliance, ProtectionGrid, and AuraCore come from one engineering leadership, and part of that work is done in Cyprus.

Identiqa is a German-American enterprise cybersecurity company. Identiqa Inc. was founded in Delaware in July 2025 and has offices in San Francisco and Oakland. Identiqa Deutschland has operated from Berlin since May 2026, and Identiqa Europe Operations Ltd. is based in Dublin. In Cyprus, Identiqa has teams in Limassol and Nicosia, and its Cypriot company is being established.

How we work with companies in Cyprus.

Hardware and software from one team

We don't hand core layers to third parties. The 2U AuraLink appliance, ProtectionGrid, and AuraCore are designed and built by Identiqa, and the people who lead the company own every layer.
