Entersekt

Entersekt is a global leader in digital banking fraud prevention and multi-channel transactional security software. Founded in 2010 by Schalk Nolte and Dewald Nolte outside of Cape Town, South Africa, the company has scaled aggressively into international markets and now operates a dual-headquarters model between Atlanta, Georgia, and Stellenbosch, South Africa. Entersekt specializes in securing digital transactions and preventing account takeover, payment fraud, and synthetic identity exploits through its proprietary, patent-heavy Context Aware™ Authentication platform. By continuously orchestrating silent background risk signals, biometric data, and behavioral inputs without fracturing the end-user experience, Entersekt helps tier-one financial institutions \"transact without fear\". A major milestone in the company's global strategy occurred in late 2023 with the corporate acquisition of Helsinki-based Modirum's 3-D Secure software business, immediately positioning Entersekt as an elite industry leader in authentication infrastructure for financial services. Backed by prime Silicon Valley private equity firm Accel-KKR, the platform handles more than 8 billion annual secure transactions across 70 countries, protecting 250 million cardholders and nearly 900 banking organizations worldwide through core channel alignments with global networks like Mastercard.
