Indurex, a Netherlands-based cybersecurity startup that specializes in protecting cyber-physical systems, emerged from stealth mode on Tuesday. 

The company has developed a solution that leverages AI and data collected from OT and IT systems to provide organizations with the resources needed to protect critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial operations. 

Indurex was founded by Jalal Bouhdada, who serves as the company’s CEO, and Maarten Oosterink, who serves as COO.

Bouhdada previously founded industrial cybersecurity company Applied Risk, which assurance and risk management company DNV acquired in 2021. 

The Indurex platform ingests and correlates data from multiple sources across the cyber-physical stack, with a strong focus on industrial historians, instrumentation and asset management systems (IAMS), alarm management, and OT network and endpoint data.

The platform, which can be integrated with third-party OT security solutions, is designed to unify cyber, process, and safety context into a single operational view, using adaptive risk scoring to highlight issues and prioritize response actions.

“For utilities, energy operators, and data centres, Indurex replaces fragmented tools and noisy alerts with a unified, AI-powered view,” said Bouhdada. “Our platform turns scattered alarms and events into meaningful, AI-driven insights — enabling faster decisions, less noise, and measurable gains in uptime, safety, and compliance.”

Bouhdada told SecurityWeek that Indurex is currently preparing a pre-seed funding round and is in talks with a number of VCs and angel investors. Until the round closes, the company remains bootstrapped and lean.
