BankVault

BankVault (operating as Rethinking Cybersecurity Pty Ltd t/a BankVault MasterKey) is an Australian cybersecurity company founded in Perth, Western Australia, with offices in San Francisco, USA. The company holds over thirty innovations and fourteen patents granted worldwide. BankVault's product portfolio has evolved across several generations. Its original technology centered on rapidly deployed virtual machines applied to securing online banking transactions, protecting against account takeover attacks even when two-factor authentication (2FA) was in use. From this foundation, the company developed a suite of browser-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) products: VanishingPoint LITE (WebSafe) and VanishingPoint PRO (SafeWindow), which provide isolated browsing environments to protect users conducting sensitive online transactions from compromised endpoints. In 2020, BankVault released MasterKey, a passwordless authentication system for web login portals built on a decentralized web protocol. MasterKey added support for PassKeys (FIDO2/WebAuthn standard) in 2021 and is positioned for distribution through SaaS marketplaces, with Odoo ERP as its initial channel targeting small and medium-sized businesses. Additional products include an Invisible Keyboard for web servers, designed to protect login portals from keyloggers on compromised client devices, and an "invisible" crypto-wallet concept. The company's target markets include financial institutions, enterprises with web-facing login portals, and SMBs. BankVault has partnerships with Equifax for product distribution and is a partner of Australia's Stay Smart Online initiative. The company won the Silicon Valley Forum World Cup Top Fintech Startup in 2016 and Best Overall Innovation at the Indo Pacific Maritime Defense Expo in 2022.
