Amsterdam-based industrial cybersecurity startup Indurex has raised €7 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Contrarian Ventures, with participation from Axeleo Capital and Curiosity. The funding was announced on October 22, 2026.
Founded in 2025 by Jalal Bouhdada and Maarten Oosterink, Indurex develops AI-powered security software for cyber-physical systems used in critical infrastructure and industrial operations. Bouhdada serves as CEO, while Oosterink serves as COO. The company emerged from stealth in January 2026.
Indurex’s SafeGuard AI platform combines information from industrial control systems, safety systems, operational data repositories and IT security tools. It uses AI agents to identify anomalies and changes in engineering configurations that could affect operational safety and security.
The company describes its approach as Engineering Intelligence, bringing together engineering, process safety and cybersecurity data to help industrial operators assess security alerts in the context of physical operations.
Indurex serves operators across oil and gas, energy, utilities, manufacturing and data centres. Its technology is designed to support industrial resilience, incident analysis and compliance with cybersecurity and functional safety standards.
The company plans to use the funding for research and development and to expand its commercial operations across Europe and the Middle East. It also intends to pursue expansion into the United States and Asia-Pacific markets at a later stage.
The funding follows Indurex’s recognition as a Gartner Cool Vendor in 2026 for its approach to cyber-physical systems security.
