Stephen Kines, COO/co-founder, Goldilock, commented – “It is excellent to be recognised for the investment we have made in innovation - as the only UK hardware cybersecurity innovator that builds an appliance from scratch, it is very challenging to find investors willing to back us, but this provides a halo effect. “In the current climate of hostile nation state attacks on our Critical National, it is extremely important for us to provide the ultimate in cyber resilience. A recognition that this is possible using dynamic physical network segmentation moves the conversation from vulnerable software layers to the physical layer, especially when we consider the industrial control systems.” “We are thrilled to be finalists, not just because it celebrates the progress we have made as a young company tackling a meaningful problem, but because it increases our visibility and credibility at a time when we are looking to grow our solution globally.
