Our Vision
To make the world safer by reducing the preventable harm caused by fraud
Fraud disproportionately affects the most vulnerable members of society, including parents, grandparents, and those less experienced with digital threats. With sound advice and proactive action, we can prevent this and reduce the statistics.
Our mission
To stop fraud before it happens
We build technologies that detect and disrupt fraudulent activity at its earliest stages — preventing scammers from ever engaging with potential victims. With robust systems, we aim to intervene at critical moments to stop losses before they occur.
We are CybearTrace
Our Guiding Principles and Values
Protect the Vulnerable
Fraud causes the greatest harm to the most vulnerable. We prioritise protecting individuals and communities who are most at risk, while designing technology with their safety and dignity in mind.
Action Through Technology
Fraud is a fast-moving problem that requires practical, scalable solutions. We build technology that turns real-world data and case experience into actionable protection, not theory or promises.
Clarity and Honesty
Fraud thrives on confusion. We communicate clearly with all our customers, avoid exaggerated claims, and set realistic expectations with clients, partners, and stakeholders.
Behind Cybear Trace
Igor Kuchuk is the founder of CybearTrace, with a strong background in fraud prevention, digital assets, and financial crime risk.
As a previous founder of an international exchange, he led the company’s operations, risk management, and regulatory compliance. Igor was also the COO of an international digital asset services provider, with responsibilities spanning crypto infrastructure, transaction processing, and platform integrity.
“I’ve seen firsthand how fraud, manipulation, and social engineering have exploited gaps between regulation, technology, and user behaviour. When we tackle a fraud case earlier with the right processes and technology, we can change the outcome for many victims.
CybearTrace and its systems was founded to do exactly that. We prevent fraud before it happens by identifying patterns early and interrupting fraudulent activity at the early stages. My goal is to protect and advocate for the vulnerable and fight scammers in their game.
