We are your cyber first responder, on call 24/7 to help navigate murky waters if you come under attack. In calmer seas, we will help build your organisation’s cyber security resilience and give you peace of mind.
Overview

As criminals develop increasingly advanced techniques in hacking and scamming, the need for cyber security has never been greater. Yet we often, unintentionally, leave the door to our virtual lives and businesses unlocked for anyone to walk in.

We help you protect against attack – and investigate when something goes wrong. Our team’s background spans the National Cyber Security Centre, White Hat Hacking, security defence firms and the UK government. From responding to data theft, extortion and cyber attack, to conducting bug sweeping and digital forensics, we ensure your cyber security now and for the future.

The role of cyber in our lives – and its potential to be manipulated in the wrong hands – is greater than ever. Rather than being scared, we need to take control.

Case Study

Cyber theft

Problem

True or false; illegal music distributors are so prolific and well-hidden that artists can never fully protect their work.

We say false. With fast, incisive action everything is protectable. So, when a global megastar’s album was hacked before release, we got on the case.

What we did

Knowing we had to work quickly, we worked overnight to bring in the best lawyers from the countries we believed the perpetrators to be active. Simultaneously, our cyber experts pinpointed the details of one of the first people to leak the songs; once we had this first link in the chain, we were able to track down more suspects.

Result

By compiling and presenting evidence to authorities, including the FBI, we saw the ringleader arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned on hacking and piracy charges. We continue to pursue civil remedies in addition to helping our client implement more resilient data protection measures to prevent future attacks.
