Our client is a high-growth start-up enabling businesses to manage the increasing risk that cyber threats pose to their reputation and operations.

They provide a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) as-a-service that combines their specialist skills with a fully integrated technology platform and global threat intelligence. This enables organisations to proactively prevent or limit the damage a cyber-breach can inflict in a way that is much more cost-effective than attempting to carry out this activity in-house.
