We are delighted to have advised Adam Nygate, founder of 418sec, on the company’s sale to US based Protect AI, and to have been actively involved in advising 418 and its team from its early stages through to its development and growth.
What the team and Adam have achieved is exceptional as a small growth cyber security company in an international market and which has developed solutions to address the vulnerability and testing of open source software.
Our corporate and tech teams continue to advise cutting edge innovative technology businesses and their founders and are really proud of the 418 team for what they have achieved.
