LOS ANGELES and TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (NASDAQ:HUBC) ("HUB" or the "Company"), a global leader in secured data fabric and perpetual verification infrastructure, today announced the commercial launch of SecureRide™, its purpose-built trust infrastructure for the Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), in partnership with Fare Co-op, the driver-owned, city-managed rideshare platform.

SecureRide™ debuts as part of Fare Co-op Platform 2.0, introducing always-on, real-time verification of both drivers and riders, fundamentally replacing the static, point-in-time safety checks that dominate today's rideshare industry.

The TNC market generated more than $260 billion in revenue in 2025 and is projected to exceed $400 billion by 2030, driven by urbanization, gig-based labor models, and the expansion of smart-city and autonomous transportation systems. Despite this scale, safety and compliance frameworks across the industry remain episodic and reactive, a structural failure as transaction volumes accelerate.

SecureRide™: Trust Infrastructure for Mobility

SecureRide™ applies HUB's Secured Data Fabric (SDF) and perpetual verification architecture to the mobility ecosystem transforming trust from a periodic compliance requirement into real-time, foundational infrastructure.

Unlike traditional rideshare models that depend on annual or episodic background checks, SecureRide™ introduces Perpetual Know Your Driver (KYD) and Perpetual Know Your Customer (KYC), continuously validating both participants throughout the lifecycle of every ride.

According to publicly available reporting, a rideshare-related sexual harassment complaint is submitted every eight minutes in the United States alone, underscoring the limitations of snapshot-based safety frameworks. SecureRide™ is designed to close this gap by detecting and mitigating risk before incidents occur, rather than responding after the fact.

Hub's Real-Time Verification Capabilities

SecureRide™ integrates multiple live, on-demand, data sources and enforcement layers, including criminal & sex offender registries, global watchlist, adverse media, motor vehicle records and other related source to establish a continuously verified trust perimeter around every ride.

Fare Co-Op's Platform 2.0: Experience Designed for Scale

Alongside SecureRide™, Fare Co-op's Platform 2.0 launching this month introduces a redesigned user experience tailored to a decentralized, driver-led network. New features include:

Ride Bidding & Dynamic Pricing: Increased flexibility for longer trips.
Advanced Preferences: Options such as preferred driver gender selection and favorite driver lists.
Embedded Social Connectivity: Deep-link referral systems and in-app money and credit transfers.

Strategic Impact

By embedding perpetual verification directly into ride-by-ride operations, SecureRide™ is designed to reduce insurance friction, lower claims exposure, and improve unit economics enabling a premium safety standard at mass-market accessibility.

More broadly, SecureRide™ demonstrates how perpetual verification infrastructure can operate at real-world transaction volumes across one of the world's largest consumer-facing markets. As mobility expands into logistics, delivery, autonomous fleets, and municipal transportation, SecureRide™ positions HUB to play a foundational role in the future of global mobility infrastructure.

"Fare Co-op was founded on the belief that drivers and communities deserve a fairer and more accountable model," said Ahmed Attia, Chairman & Co-Founder of Fare Co-op. "With SecureRide™, we are extending that philosophy to physical safety. Real-time accountability should be the baseline, not the exception, for anyone entering a vehicle."

Noah Hershcoviz, CEO of HUB Cyber Security, commented: "SecureRide™ proves that perpetual verification can operate at live platform scale. This is the same trust architecture we deploy for banks and governments, which we will now be applying to one of the world's most safety-critical consumer environments."
