The Challenge

With 230,000 new malware samples are detected every day and 78% of UK businesses failing to identify a cyber attack it is no wonder that more than £67 Billion is lost to cyber-crime annually alone!

A huge entry point for these cyber attacks is phishing emails. Malware sent to staff and executives looking to gain access to systems or con money. Spam filters are great, but no where near good enough for today’s modern cyber criminal or hacker.

Askarii Blue approached Harding Scott for help to bring their new digital platform, Skales to market. Industry veteran and founder, Matthew Haynes were looking for a technical partner that would guide and assist them with the product development, design and engineering required to bring the new platform to market.

“[Their] professional approach to running with our decisions and constructing a product we wanted, not one hindered by differing of opinion that has made this a successful endeavor. ”

The Solution

Harding Scott worked closely with the team at Askarii Blue to understand and create a platform that built upon their existing set of industry leading tools, with the aim of providing businesses another arrow in their quiver at preventing and eliminating cyber security threats when they first appear.

Harding Scott developed a real time threat monitoring dashboard that easily allows company administrators to monitor and view security threats in real time along with both Gmail and outlook plugins allowing team members to be alerted to cyber threats right from their inbox, reducing security incidents.

“Our roadmap very much includes Harding Scott, and we look forward to calling on their services. ”
