Regulus Cyber is a technology company.
Regulus Cyber develops software-based solutions to secure satellite navigation and timing systems against various threats. The company provides capabilities for counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UxS) and protects global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers from spoofing and jamming attacks. Their technology integrates into existing platforms, offering an essential layer of defense for critical applications reliant on accurate positioning, navigation, and timing data.
The company was co-founded in 2016 by Yonatan Zur and Yoav Zangvil. They started Regulus Cyber based on the insight that GNSS vulnerabilities posed significant risks across numerous industries, prompting the need for robust, software-defined cybersecurity measures to ensure the integrity and reliability of satellite navigation. Their collective expertise aimed to address this growing security gap.
Regulus Cyber primarily serves sectors where the reliability of GPS and other GNSS signals is paramount, including automotive, drone operations, and critical infrastructure. The company's vision centers on establishing trust and resilience in satellite-dependent systems, aiming to prevent disruptions and ensure operational continuity in an increasingly connected and vulnerable digital landscape.

Regulus Cyber is an Israeli cybersecurity company specializing in software-based solutions to protect against GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) spoofing and jamming attacks, primarily targeting defense and uncrewed systems.[1][4][5] It develops products like Ring C-UxS, a counter-uncrewed systems (C-UxS) platform for neutralizing drones and uncrewed vehicles, and Pyramid, a sensor security system that detects threats to GPS/GNSS-dependent devices such as drones, autonomous vehicles, and robots.[1][2][4] Serving defense integrators (e.g., Rafael, Elbit, IAI in Israel; Leonardo DRS and US DoD in the US), the company addresses vulnerabilities in navigation and sensor data, with hundreds of Ring systems deployed operationally, including in combat scenarios.[1][4] Growth is evidenced by 10 patents in GPS/satellite navigation, partnerships with major defense players, and expansion from drone security to broader autonomous tech.[1][2][4]
Founded in 2016 in Haifa, Israel, Regulus Cyber emerged from founders with expertise in military and commercial security projects, initially focusing on drone vulnerabilities amid rising industry momentum.[1][2] CEO Yatan Zur and the team conducted extensive research at drone expos and with drone companies, identifying neglected sensor security issues like GPS spoofing in lightweight, cost-sensitive components.[2] A pivot occurred as automotive inquiries surged—sensors in cars, overlooked five years prior, became prime targets for hacks via GPS, LIDAR, and similar tech.[2] This led to the 2018 release of the Pyramid platform, including GPS SP for signal scanning and CSM for encrypted communications, marking early traction in systemic sensor defense rather than per-device hardening.[2][5]
Regulus Cyber rides the surge in uncrewed systems proliferation and GNSS vulnerabilities, fueled by drones, autonomous vehicles, and robotics in defense/homeland security amid rising jamming/spoofing incidents (hundreds of thousands yearly).[1][2][5] Timing aligns with geopolitical tensions boosting counter-UAS demand—Ring's combat deployments highlight real-world efficacy where traditional defenses lag.[1][4] Market tailwinds include exponential sensor growth in IoT/autonomy, neglected security in cost/weight-optimized designs, and shifts to software-defined solutions for scalability.[2][6] It influences the ecosystem via partnerships with Israeli/US defense giants, advancing GNSS cyber defense standards and enabling secure ops in denied environments.[1][4]
Regulus Cyber's combat-proven Ring and agnostic Pyramid position it for expansion in AI-enhanced C-UxS and multi-sensor fusion, as drone swarms and autonomous fleets demand resilient GNSS security.[1][4][6] Upcoming trends like collaborative UAV autonomy (e.g., sensor fusion/SLAM integration) and EW proliferation will amplify demand, especially with US DoD ties.[4][6] Influence may grow through more patents, global deployments, and potential scaling to commercial autonomy, solidifying its edge in a market where software agility trumps hardware rigidity—echoing its origins in overlooked drone risks now central to tech defense.[1][2]
Regulus Cyber has raised $10.0M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $4.0M Series B in May 2020.
