Qubera Solutions

Qubera Solutions was a specialized cybersecurity firm established in 2009 by Jacob Pszonowsky. Headquartered in Redwood City, California, the company operated as an identity and access management (IAM) consultancy, carving out a niche in providing robust security solutions.

The firm catered primarily to Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies across a multitude of industries, including financial services, healthcare, and technology. Its business model was centered on designing and delivering technology services and strategic consulting to solve complex business security problems. Qubera Solutions provided a suite of services that included Identity and Access Management (IAM/IAG), Access Governance, Risk & Compliance, Cloud Identity Federation, and Identity as a Service (IDaaS). The company's management team was noted for its extensive experience in delivering and supporting technology services for major international organizations.

In a significant strategic move, the US and UK arms of KPMG acquired certain assets of Qubera Solutions on October 2, 2014. This acquisition was driven by KPMG's goal to significantly bolster its cybersecurity capabilities amid growing digital threats. The transaction enhanced KPMG's security transformation services and elevated its US division to a top deployment partner for SailPoint, a leader in identity governance. Following the acquisition, Qubera's CEO, Prasad Jayaraman, joined KPMG as a partner in the Risk Consulting business, integrating his team's specialized talent into KPMG's global platform.
