British cyber security startup Risk Ledger secures £2.1m funding as supply chains hit the headlines

Risk Ledger

British cyber security company Risk Ledger has today raised £2.1 million in seed funding. The funding round was led by Finnish VC Lifeline Ventures with participation from Seedcamp, firstminute Capital, Episode 1 and Village Global. This news comes hot on the heels of a flurry of new customers including NHS Test and Trace, wealth management giant Quilter, and tech unicorn Snyk. The Risk Ledger platform is a first of a kind global network of connected organisations, all working together to defend as one against cyber attacks. This game changing approach makes the platform ideal for almost any organisation trying to identify, measure and mitigate supply chain risks regardless of industry. Supply chain cyber breaches often result in personal data such as payment details, addresses and medical records being accessed by unauthorised third parties. Major supply chain cyber security breaches in 2021 at Accellion, Solarwinds and Microsoft have put the challenge of defending against supply chain breaches at the top of the agenda for every large organisation globally. Haydn Brooks, founder and CEO at Risk Ledge r commented: “The past 18 months have been a period of rapid growth in the company. We grew our client base and our user numbers have sky-rocketed despite the significant economic disruption caused by the pandemic. We have expanded the product into non-cyber security factors, including ESG and financial supply chain risks. Testament to the wider scope of the platform, we are now engaging procurement leaders in companies as well as their information security counterparts. This investment will help us grow our team and operations to fully capitalise on the heightened focus on supply chain security driven by all the new regulations and high-profile breaches.” Risk Ledger's client base includes a wide range of organisations including NHS Test & Trace, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, City of London Police, Schroders Personal Wealth and ASOS among others. Recently, the Risk Ledger platform was able to help the NHS Test & Trace team identify complex vulnerabilities in multiple interdependent suppliers that provide key reagents to the organisation. These systemic risks within supply chains often go undiscovered and in this case could have caused weeks of disruption to the UK’s ongoing COVID-19 response in the event of a cybersecurity incident. Petteri Koponen, founding partner at Lifeline Ventures said: “We wanted to be part of Risk Ledger’s growth journey because they have the right product at the right time. With supply chain breaches becoming mainstream and regulators globally mandating better management of the risks, the Risk Ledger platform is in a fantastic position to become the industry agnostic tool of choice and penetrate the market extensively. The potential for the platform to proliferate virally is also unique. Capturing 30% of the UK water market in just over a year shows this possibility which is exciting for us.” Risk Ledger is a rising star of the UK's growing cyber security industry having won competitions run by the UK Government's National Cyber Security Centre, the tech industry body TechUK and most recently a winner in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport’s ‘Most Innovative UK Cyber SME of the Year’ competition. The company is also a member of the UK Government backed LORCA programme (London Office of Rapid Cybersecurity Advancement). About Risk Ledger Risk Ledger is a British company that manages cyber security risks in supply chains. The process of supply chain security risk management ensures third parties who deliver critical services, have access to data, corporate networks, or any other status of business trust, maintain a good base level of cyber security controls to prevent bad actors using the third party as an attack vector. Risk Ledger's client base includes organisations like BAE AI, City of London Police, Telenor, Schroders Personal Wealth and ASOS. Risk Ledger is a rising star of the UK's growing cyber security industry having won competitions run by the UK Government's National Cyber Security Centre, the tech industry body TechUK and most recently a winner in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport’s ‘Most Innovative UK Cyber SME of the Year’ competition.

The Royal Seal of Approval: Alaka’i’s hydrogen-powered advanced air mobility vehicle Skai is on a mission to decarbonize travel

Alaka’i Technologies

20 SEPTEMBER 2021 – Alaka’i Technologies, developer of the world’s first hydrogen-powered air mobility vehicle, today announces it is being featured in the official History of Parliament Trust ‘300 Years of Leadership and Innovation’ commemorative publication, which will be launched at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday, 22 September 2021. Alaka’i was nominated and selected by the Board of Trustees, including members from both Houses of Parliament and distinguished academics. The award recognizes Alaka’i’s commitment to decarbonizing travel with its groundbreaking Skai eVTOL vehicle (electric vertical take-off and landing) that is setting a new standard for zero-emission air travel. Offering a sleek design and premium passenger experience, a radically simple fault-tolerant system with redundant levels of safety and reliability, an airframe-parachute, and hydrogen as its fuel source, Skai is poised to be the safest, cleanest and most versatile air mobility solution in the world. A key part of Skai’s innovation – and the reason the company was selected for this honor – is the use of clean, zero-emission hydrogen fuel cells for its power source. The majority of emerging electric air mobility vehicles rely on lithium-ion batteries. Besides their associated environmental impact, batteries are heavier and have far less energy density than hydrogen fuel cells resulting in short vehicle flight-time and range. Skai’s fuel cells have a significantly longer lifecycle and enable the vehicle to cruise at speeds of 100mph (160km/h) with a range of around 400 miles (645km) depending on the payload. The fundamental Skai advantage is the use of hydrogen, making it a zero-carbon, zero-pollutant solution that emits only heat and water. The result is simple, safe, reliable and clean air travel. While Skai can operate from traditional hydrogen sources, it is also the killer app for the fast-evolving green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is made from electrolyzing water using hydroelectric, wind, solar, tidal or other forms of renewable energy. As more and more green hydrogen sources come online, Skai is the first eVTOL capable of having a zero-carbon chain from hydrogen generation to flight. “The design realizes our core vision of transforming transportation and providing safe, affordable travel for all,” said Brian Morrison, inventor, co-founder and director of Alaka’i Technologies. “Skai offers practical, real-world solutions to everything from relieving traffic congestion to delivering cargo or supplies during natural disasters and transporting patients to hospitals. Our goal is the democratization of flight, to make flight as natural a part of the human experience as riding or taking a taxi.” Skai was co-designed by Designworks, the design innovation studio of the BMW Group, to leverage its creative expertise to help shape a world-class vehicle focused on the customer experience. “It is an honor to be part of this recognition and celebration of innovation,” said Holger Hampf, president of Designworks. “Our mission is to continuously revolutionize mobility systems including improved means of protecting the environment and the world we live in.” The History of Parliament Trust – one of the most respected and authoritative research projects in British history – produced its commemorative publication in partnership with leading publisher St James’s House. Written by an editorial team of distinguished academics and award-winning authors, this beautifully designed, fully illustrated, 600+ page hardback publication is being launched to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the appointment of Britain’s first prime minister, Robert Walpole, in 1721, and in the year of Her Majesty The Queen’s 95th birthday. For more information about Skai, visit www.skai.co. About Alaka'i Alaka’i Technologies – the name comes from the Hawaiian language, meaning to be the source or leader – is an emerging air mobility design and manufacturing company, headquartered in Stow MA. Founded by Brian Morrison in 2007, Alaka'i Technologies assembled a distinguished team with decades of aerospace development, production, management and airspace integration experience (NASA, Raytheon, Beech Aircraft, McDonnell Douglas, Hughes, DayJet, SATSAir, Metro Aviation, Delta Airlines) and FAA certification experience. Working together since the 1990 on industry-defining projects such as the NASA AGATE and SATS Programs, they also built and flew the world first-ever Fly-By-Light aircraft. Today, the Alaka'i team has over 35 US and numerous foreign patents stretching back to 2013, and is engineering proprietary, progressive air mobility solutions to offer point-to-any point transportation solutions that are clean, simple, safe, and accessible for everyone. Ultimately, transforming transportation through hydrogen-powered mobility.
