Titania Welcomes Rt Hon Francis Maude at Office Opening


On Thursday the 20th of November we will be joined by friends, partners and media in welcoming the Cybersecurity Rt Hon Francis Maude MP to cut the ribbon at our new headquarters in Worcester. 

As part of a cybersecurity campaign, in the lead up to Cyber Monday, the busiest day of the year for online shopping , the Minister will be travelling across the UK to promote awareness of increasing online threats. After discussing cyber defence strategies, with industry and academia, at the Cybersecurity Summit 2014, Rt Hon Francis Maude MP travels to the cyber valley, to deliver a speech and to officially open the building. 

Titania was founded 5 years ago by one information security professional, Ian Whiting, who wanted to replace the sometimes repetitive and time-consuming audit and report writing side of penetration testing with software that automates much of the network device auditing process. The Network Infrastructure Parser, developed by Ian, evolved into Nipper Studio, Titania’s flagship and most successful product.

Five years, and countless awards later, Titania has a new home where it will continue to develop and deliver trusted solutions to a community of information security professionals in over 60 countries.

UK Cyber Minister Mentions Titania in Annual Cyber Strategy Review

We were delighted to receive a mention in yesterday’s speech in Westminster by Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude, in his annual review of the UK’s progress towards the objectives of the national Cyber Security Strategy.  

During his speech, the Minister announced the government’s new target for the UK to achieve £2 billion of cyber exports annually by 2016.

In doing so, he specifically mentioned Titania, a UK SME already supplying its cyber software to 50 countries, as an example of the type of company in “the industries of the future that can help the UK achieve strong lasting growth and compete and win in the global race.”

Andy Williams, Titania’s Head of Global Business, who also sits on the board of the UK’s public/private Cyber Growth Partnership, said: “We appreciate the government’s active support for UK cyber SMEs, from which we have already substantially benefited. As Titania continues to expand into new overseas markets, we look forward to increasing our contribution towards the UK’s achievement of what is an ambitious but eminently achievable target of £2 billion for cyber exports.”


The mention comes around 8 minutes in.
