Early-Stage Investment Conversation

Back an Early-Stage EU Deception-Security Company

SSH Honeypot Deception Platform

PHANTAQSM is a pre-seed, pre-revenue company building a managed SSH honeypot deception platform for EU government and regulated European enterprise. We model attacker behaviour with Bayesian and Markov methods and produce tamper-evident evidence. We are early, and we are looking for partners who back teams at this stage.

Why We Are Building PHANTAQSM

Several real trends point to demand for EU-sovereign deception-security

Market Drivers

Rising SSH and Credential Attacks

SSH and credential-based attacks against exposed infrastructure are common and persistent. Deception and decoys turn those attempts into usable intelligence.

EU Regulatory Pressure

NIS2 and GDPR raise expectations for monitoring, evidence, and data handling. EU public-sector buyers increasingly want EU-sovereign tooling.

Value of Attacker-Behaviour Intelligence

Modelling attacker behaviour with Bayesian and Markov methods produces intelligence that is useful to defenders. We are an early entrant in EU deception-security.

Where We Are Today

PHANTAQSM is pre-revenue and pre-pilot. We do not have customers, partners, or committed investment yet, and we are not publishing revenue or valuation projections.

What we can share is our stage and our focus: a Brussels-based, founder-led, EU-region-hosted SSH honeypot deception platform aimed at EU government and regulated European enterprise.

We are happy to walk serious investors through our assumptions and early-stage plan in a direct conversation rather than on a public page.

Forward-looking and aspirational; nothing on this page is a guarantee of future results.
