Cyber minister Julia Lopez stated: “We are backing businesses on the frontline defending the UK against cyber threats. Our investment in these innovative British startups helps create skilled jobs and a more diverse workforce, which strengthens our national security as well as our booming tech industry.”

Our inclusion in this prestigious accelerator programme is testament to our continued commitment to developing highly usable solutions that protect mobile communications.
