About PureCyber
From humble beginnings to the cyber security partner that’s always forever ready.
Who we are
PureCyber started in 2016 with a simple goal: make cyber security accessible for everyone. We wanted to use our passion for technology to provide services that make a real difference to the people we work with. As a specialist cyber security partner, we take what’s often seen as a complex industry and show how effective cyber security can truly transform an organisation for the better.
As we’ve grown, we’ve never lost sight of that mission. Through our people, culture, and approach, we’ve built a reputation as the trusted cyber partner that helps our clients to thrive, whatever their mission.
We don’t take that trust for granted, either. We work in an industry that never sleeps and is constantly evolving, which is why we’ve built a team of talented, passionate cyber experts powered by the latest technology to enable your success. So, whether we’re monitoring your digital borders for threats, testing your systems for gaps, or helping you manage the risks you face, you can be sure that we’re forever ready for whatever comes next.
Team
Our History
We’ve been on an exciting journey since we started in 2016, and our story is still being written. Take a look at how PureCyber grew into the business we are today.
Founder and CEO Damon Rands sets up the business (originally named Wolfberry) in Newport, South Wales, with a simple goal, to make cyber security accessible, understandable and affordable for organisations of any size.
Wolfberry wins the Corporate LiveWire Innovation Award for Most Innovative Cyber Security Company in the UK, recognised for its VIPER VS threat detection technology.
Wolfberry becomes the only Welsh organisation chosen for Cyber Runway, the UK’s largest cyber security accelerator, backed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
On 1 June, Wolfberry rebrands as PureCyber to reflect its sole focus on cyber security rather than general IT, and moves into new offices at One Central Square in the heart of Cardiff as the team grows to 22 people.
PureCyber secures a £5 million growth investment from BGF, with experienced former tech CEO Ben Marnham joining as Non Executive Chair, as the team grows to 37 cyber security specialists.
PureCyber launches a trio of new services, Managed Extended Detection and Response, Incident Response as a Service, and Cyber Essentials as a Service, giving clients end to end protection across the full cyber security lifecycle.
Now a team of over 40 accredited specialists, PureCyber continues supporting organisations across professional services, education, manufacturing and sport from its Cardiff headquarters.
