About Red Helix
Red Helix is a leader in cybersecurity and network performance, with a 40-year heritage in supporting UK businesses and infrastructure.
Primarily focused on small and medium-sized enterprises, Red Helix provides best-in-class cybersecurity tools and 24/7/365 threat monitoring alongside expert, unbiased guidance. It simplifies the complexities of the fast-changing cybersecurity tool stack, allowing businesses to concentrate on their core operations without worrying about threats and vulnerabilities.
Red Helix’s mission is to bridge the gap between the needs of smaller businesses and the high-level security solutions typically available only to larger enterprises, making advanced cybersecurity accessible and affordable for all. It’s focused on simplifying cyber-language to make it easier to understand for businesses, helping them to avoid over-investing in security measures they don’t need.
In an industry that increasingly attracts providers who concentrate on rapid growth and pushing out the latest ‘shiny’ technologies, Red Helix is very selective about the vendors it chooses to underpin its services, rigorously testing all solutions in real-life environments before offering them to clients. It is strictly vendor-agnostic, ensuring clients receive solutions tailored to their precise requirements, not just the latest cutting-edge technology.
Red Helix also differentiates through the interoperability of the solutions it delivers, making them easier to consume for clients. It is effectively democratising cybersecurity, allowing businesses to understand their security posture and feel protected, without getting distracted by technical details.
Beyond its core services, Red Helix is passionate about addressing the UK’s cybersecurity skills gap by raising awareness and boosting diversity and inclusivity across the sector. The company believes it is the industry’s duty to upskill and make cyber widely accessible.
Its active involvement with OxCyber, a Thames Valley-based cybersecurity hub, bringing together academia, government, and industry to develop advanced security solutions and foster skills, is one example of the role Red Helix is playing to achieve this goal. The work it does in raising awareness in schools, including through its innovative six-week Coding Club for Year 6 primary school children is another.
Led by CEO Marion Stewart, Red Helix is proud of its record in attracting the best security talent in the UK to its SOC team despite the ongoing skills shortage, providing technology and role variation that ensures analysts are engaged and consistently upskilled. The company recently announced the appointment of Tom Exelby as Head of Cyber Security, further enhancing its leadership team and ability to serve clients.
The company continuously keeps pace with rapid technological changes and adapts its solutions to offer flexible managed security services that keep businesses secure. Red Helix’s services and expert guidance offer added value even in the event of system outages by major cybersecurity vendors. During the recent CrowdStrike outage, for example, Red Helix’s ability to quickly understand and communicate updates on remediation steps to clients, before the start of their working day, helped them avoid outages during business hours.
Through its unwavering commitment to providing expert services, Red Helix is making a significant impact on the cybersecurity landscape today and in the future.
