Sebastian Kurz founds company with ex-spyware boss

The new company Dream Security will focus on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure to protect it from attacks. Investors raised $20 million.

Kurz and Hulio met at the beginning of the year when the ex-Chancellor visited Israel. Hulio invited him to get in. “During my time as Chancellor, I experienced many attacks on governments, but also on production facilities and energy plants, most of which were not published in the media,” Kurz told Globes. When asked if Dream also wanted to sell its products to undemocratic countries, Kurz replied that the focus was on Europe. Hulio leave NSO. He explained that he wanted to switch from attacking to defending.
