London, UK - November 07, 2025 - Cleafy, a global leader in cyber-fraud fusion defence, has earned 16th place in the Top 40 Cybersecurity Companies of 2025. The recognition highlights Cleafy’s innovative approach to preventing online fraud before it impacts financial institutions and their customers.
Since its founding in 2014 by Matteo Bogana, Nicolo Pastore, and Carmine Giangregorio, Cleafy has focused on stopping online banking fraud at its origin. The platform monitors the entire digital journey, linking cybersecurity telemetry with fraud intelligence to detect coordinated attacks and respond with precision, preserving the user experience.
Cleafy faced significant early challenges. Industry experts questioned whether device-level, real-time prevention was achievable, while banks feared that rigorous protection might compromise customer interactions. Cleafy met these challenges with deterministic detection that explains every decision, correlates signals across sessions, identifies malware and automated bots in web and mobile channels, and responds in ways that minimise friction.
Today, Cleafy protects more than 120 million users across retail and corporate banking. Its technology portfolio includes multiple patents for session- and device-level detection, and its continuous innovation is supported by Cleafy LABS, which feeds actionable threat intelligence into the platform. In 2023, a major funding round accelerated international expansion and product development, further cementing Cleafy’s leadership in the cyber-fraud fusion space.
What sets Cleafy apart is its ability to see fraud before money moves. By tracing the full attack chain, the platform enables banks to intervene early, reduce fraud losses, alleviate operational strain, and maintain customer trust. Analysts consistently recognise Cleafy’s unique ability to deliver cross-session visibility, automated response, and predictive intelligence that keep financial institutions ahead of emerging malware and automated attacks.
Cleafy’s recognition among the Top 40 Cybersecurity Companies reflects a new era in fraud defence, one that prioritises proactive visibility, measurable intelligence, and seamless protection for digital banking users worldwide.
