The funding will support the growth of Melius CyberSafe’s automated threat detection platform, which is designed to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to SMEs. The platform, first developed in 2022 with earlier support from Mercia and the NEVF, monitors IT networks, websites and mobile apps, and automates penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities. It also assists businesses in achieving cybersecurity accreditations such as Cyber Essentials and CE+. This investment follows the launch of a new, more advanced version of the platform earlier this year. The company aims to increase market share and has already attracted clients including Virgin Wines, Crafter’s Companion and Jules B. It has also established key distribution partnerships.
