    Our team brings expertise from across the special forces, government, both intelligence services, finance, academia and leading technology names.

    Strategic advisers include Dr Ken Urquhart (Innovation at Microsoft, CERN Researcher and Applied A.I. specialist) and the recent Strategic Government advisor in Cyber Operations.

    Commercially and Operationally we have experience from JP Morgan, IBM, HSBC and Goldman Sachs and our CEO was instrumental in helping a leading tech name grow from £4M to over £1BN.

    Having secured Development partners for Cognition (Our Intelligence-led, A.I.-enabled Cyber Defence product) ranging from global airlines to award winning foreign exchange brokers in London and our first paying clients we are now looking to accelerate its development.

    Fortitude is regarded as Top 50 Cyber Start-ups in the UK and with revenues growing 1000% this year we are in the middle of investor rounds and are retaining a generous employee equity pool for new additions to the team in order to share in the story.

    Alongside developing Cognition for the cyber defence industry we provide two separate business functions, which enable us to remain both practically and technically current:

    1. A Digital Intelligence offering (consulting & services) to the Legal & Financial sectors 2.'Special Projects' involving discreet training.

    Whilst most only say it (type it) we actively pursue it: as a team we are passionate about our culture, flexibility, fun and the working environment. Guitars, sofas, tea, games, mindfulness and a love of live music (especially festivals) and the outdoors are at the heart of how we work and live.
