What Velum Labs does

Velum Labs is a Kuala Lumpur-based cyber intelligence company founded in 2018 that provides enterprise clients with three integrated software and services platforms: V-DARK, a cyber intelligence platform that monitors deep-web, dark-web, and clear-web environments using proprietary non-scraping data sourcing methods; V-CLOUD, a non-intrusive cloud monitoring platform for Microsoft 365 and G-suite compliance and configuration assurance; and V-ATTACK, a real-time cyber emulation service that uses CREST-certified experts to simulate advanced persistent threat (APT) tactics against client environments. The company's platform architecture combines threat intelligence (V-DARK) with live attack emulation (V-ATTACK) and cloud configuration monitoring (V-CLOUD), positioning it as a full-spectrum cyber risk management vendor rather than a point solution.

The company targets enterprise and government clients in verticals including insurance, regulatory, legal, finance, defense, aviation, energy, and telecommunications, with sales conducted through direct enterprise engagement rather than self-service. Its stated differentiation rests on proprietary intelligence-gathering techniques rather than web scraping, ongoing human presence within cyber crime and threat groups, and forensically analyzed intelligence outputs. Velum Labs maintains a technology partnership ecosystem spanning Tricis (UK), Prodaft, X41, Czechoslovak Group (Europe), and Sapura (Malaysia), supporting cross-border delivery into regulated and critical infrastructure sectors.

Velum Labs operates as a privately held, bootstrapped company with 37 employees and no disclosed external funding. Revenue is generated through subscription and recurring professional services engagements, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company engages on a quote-based enterprise sales model. The company's stated mission is to develop indigenous technological cyber competencies through entrepreneurship in the Southeast Asian region and beyond, while its marketing presence is concentrated on LinkedIn and a corporate website that has not published substantive news or media content since 2023.

Core offering

Velum Labs is a cyber intelligence company that provides cloud and cyber intelligence solutions through three products: V-DARK, a cyber intelligence platform; V-CLOUD, a non-intrusive cloud monitoring platform; and V-ATTACK, a real-time cyber emulation service. The company collects threat intelligence from non-standard sources and simulates attacks to help large organizations and government agencies identify vulnerabilities and threats.

Product overview

Velum Labs provides a unified cyber intelligence platform comprising three integrated products: V-DARK (cyber intelligence platform), V-CLOUD (cloud monitoring), and V-ATTACK (cyber emulation). The platform enables organizations to proactively identify and mitigate potential threats, protect sensitive data, and minimize the impact of successful attacks. V-DARK provides threat intelligence by monitoring cyber forums, dark-web, and clear-web platforms; V-CLOUD offers non-intrusive M365 compliance monitoring; and V-ATTACK delivers real-time cyber emulation with penetration testing capabilities. The products are designed to work together, with V-DARK intelligence feeding into V-ATTACK emulation and V-CLOUD providing cloud security monitoring.
