CyberSmart：获融£5.5M 安全合规

【200714 Tech.eu】UK’s CyberSmart, a cloud-based digital security platform that helps SMBs identify risks and comply with regulations, has raised a £5.5 million Series A round led by VC firm IQ Capital and angel investors. The startup reports a revenue increase of 300 percent over the last twelve months and will use the fresh capital to fuel more growth.

【谷歌翻译 未经校对】英国的CyberSmart是一个基于云的数字安全平台，可帮助中小型企业识别风险并遵守法规，该公司已完成550万英镑的A轮融资，由风险投资公司IQ Capital和天使投资人牵头。这家初创公司报告说，过去十二个月的收入增长了300％，并将使用新资金推动更多的增长。

The goal of the software is to help business owners easily protect themselves and their businesses, despite any potential gaps in digital skills or tech savviness. “The SMB market has not been easy to protect until now, and business owners have so many issues to deal with they often wait until it is too late, losing all their customer data or even cash in a cyber-attack,” said CEO Jamie Akhtar. “We take all the effort out from a business becoming secure, so it’s not as painful, time-consuming, or as expensive as one might think.”

该软件的目标是帮助企业所有者轻松保护自己和他们的企业，尽管在数字技能或技术上有任何潜在的差距。首席执行官杰米说：“中小型企业市场直到现在还不容易受到保护，企业主有太多问题要处理，他们常常等到为时已晚，丢失所有客户数据，甚至在网络攻击中获利，”阿赫塔尔。“我们从确保业务安全中全力以赴，因此它不会像人们想象的那样痛苦，耗时或昂贵。”

Another main focus of the software is to help these businesses meet national standards, such as the Cyber Essentials Certification, which is recommended by the Information Commissioner’s Office and Federation for Small Businesses — and required of any suppliers to central and local governments.

该软件的另一个主要重点是帮助这些企业达到国家标准，例如信息专员办公室和小型企业联合会推荐的“ Cyber Essentials认证”，并且是中央和地方政府的任何供应商都需要的。

This priority makes sense, given the startup has had close ties to UK governmental institutions from the start. Born from a Government Communications Headquarters accelerator in 2017, the startup was also one of the first participants in the National Cyber Security Center accelerator programme.

鉴于该创业公司从一开始就与英国政府机构有着密切的联系，因此优先考虑是有意义的。这家初创公司于2017年出生于政府通信总部的加速器，也是国家网络安全中心加速器计划的首批参与者之一。

Commenting on the investment, IQ Capital partner Kerry Baldwin said: “The company has a strong product-market fit, is hitting targets well ahead of schedule, and has secured strategic partnerships to further market penetration within the UK and internationally.”

IQ Capital合伙人克里·鲍德温（Kerry Baldwin）在评论这项投资时说：“该公司具有很强的产品市场适应性，正在提前实现目标，并已建立战略合作伙伴关系，以进一步在英国和国际市场渗透。”
