A1 Group Start Up Campus Alumni Member Whalebone is the leading DNS Cybersecurity Telco-Supplier worldwide.

The Czech-based DNS cybersecurity company Whalebone is an alumni member of the A1 Start Up Campus and has been a part of this initiative since 2017. Whalebone primarily focuses on DNS resolution at the network level and identity theft protection. The Whalebone protection thus covers all devices in the network, including those that cannot be secured at all because no suitable app or even an interface is available for its user. Whalebone is therefore also ideally suited to securing smart home gadgets, such as smart thermostats or cameras.
 
As of Q4 2023, Whalebone provides its services to millions of customers of more than 30 telcos globally, making it the leading DNS cybersecurity supplier for telcos. It has blocked over 5.5 billion threats in 2023 thereof over 830 million throughout the A1 Telekom Austria Group alone.
 
“As a telco company, protecting highly sensitive customer data is both top priority and core business. I am deeply impressed by the numbers reported by Whalebone not only in terms of subscribers but also in terms of prevented attacks on those subscribers. A1 Net Protect is not only a product – it is the expression of our responsibility for the security of our customers” says Alejandro Plater, CEO A1 Group.
 
Richard Malovic, CEO Whalebone, says, “I’m proud of what Whalebone has achieved in just a few short years. The mutual collaboration between A1 and Whalebone has enabled us to become the global market leader with the most telco cybersecurity deployments. Our mission is to protect one billion people worldwide from online threats and we are working tirelessly to achieve this goal. We will continue to innovate and collaborate with telcos around the world to safeguard the digital lives of people everywhere.”
