Quorum Cyber: A year of milestones, global expansion, and cybersecurity advancements

Edinburgh, United Kingdom – December 18, 2023 – Quorum Cyber, founded to help organizations defend themselves in an increasingly hostile digital landscape, today announced significant growth and market momentum in 2023. For the past year, the company opened new offices in London and North America, achieved several notable industry accolades, expanded its headcount to over 225 employees, launched new cybersecurity services, and signed over 20 new managed services customers across the automotive, financial services, information technology, local government, housing, not-for-profit, and retail sectors.

In 2023, Quorum Cyber achieved a key certification milestone, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Assured Service Provider for the NCSC Cyber Incident Response (CIR) Level 2 scheme. The company is now working towards gaining Level 1, which will permit it to defend critical national infrastructures.

“This year has been truly momentous for Quorum Cyber,” said Federico Charosky, CEO of Quorum Cyber. “We opened an office in North America, welcomed many incredibly talented professionals into our team, expanded our breadth of services, began exciting partnerships with more organizations worldwide, and held our first summit for the cybersecurity community. And we’re only just getting started.”

Enhanced Customer Support

To elevate customer support, the company added cybersecurity talent to every department. Highlights include strengthening the senior leadership team with Mark Lawrence, who joined as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Steven Marandola as Vice President of Innovation, Paul Vasquez as Vice President of Alliances and Partnerships, and Rebecca Court as Marketing Director.

In addition, Quorum Cyber recruited compliance, data security, and identity security experts to complement and support the core service offerings and strengthen teams. New team members have extensive experience working for and with Microsoft, giving the company valuable insights and understanding to develop market-disrupting services. In addition, the company increased its Security Operations Centre (SOC) team to over 60 people running the Managed Extended Detection and Response (Managed XDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR)—ensuring the services remain the heart of the business.

New Customer Services

Over the last twelve months, the company added several new services, including Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), and Managed Data Security (MDS), to complement the range of managed and professional cybersecurity services.

Quorum Cyber uses Microsoft’s security tools, together with its own SOC and its unique customer platform, Clarity, to deliver world-class services. Clarity harnesses the power of Microsoft Security and advanced AI, empowering customers to engage with the service proactively while staying one step ahead of potential cyber threats. Furthermore, Clarity facilitates optimal utilization of customers' Microsoft tools and licenses.

North American Expansion

Over the past twelve months, the company expanded its North American customer base by opening a Florida operations office and supporting it by recruiting a California-based solutions director and three US-based sales consultants. In addition, Quorum Cyber recruited a US-based Microsoft Alliance Manager.
