There’s a lot of talk about ‘passion’ in business, isn’t there? Sometimes, we can relate - vets, musicians, people who work for a charity, that kind of thing.
But how, you might wonder, does one get ‘passionate’ about cyber security? Well, for starters, we're computer scientists. However, what we really care about deeply is helping organisations to protect themselves from cyber crime.
Because cyber crime is actually just crime.
It's theft, extortion, criminal damage – really unpleasant crime that can knock hard-working businesses like yours for six. So what we’re really passionate about is protecting honest businesses. Businesses that make the world a better place by creating great products, delivering invaluable services and providing meaningful jobs.
Running a business is hard (we know). The effort it takes to make it a success – all the late nights, the creative energy, the sacrifice and stress – seeing all that taken away from someone like you by some pretty nasty criminals...that does get us animated.
So we decided to put our geekiness to good use. To help you secure your IT so you don’t lose money. To help you win more business, and to help you sleep better at night.
We keep good businesses in business.
Why Dalton Cyber?
We have decades of combined industry experience across a variety of sectors including government and defence.
More importantly for you, we have to meet rigorous standards laid-down by the National Cyber Security Centre, part of GCHQ. This means that you can be sure that all our consultants have been independently assessed and verified to provide services and advice to the highest standard.
We believe in
NO-NONSENSE ADVICE
There’s too much fluff on the internet, and too many so-called experts
talking lots and saying not very much at all. Our tools, systems and tips are solid, proven, and straightforward.
SAYING IT AS IT IS
We don’t obfuscate, and we don’t bury details in industry jargon. We believe in transparency
and helping our clients understand all necessary ramifications.
YOUR SUCCESS
Each project is unique, and there is no cookie-cutter approach to cyber-security. We uphold strict standards, but most
importantly, we make the tech work for our clients - whatever that looks like.
A PERSONAL TOUCH
Just because we work with ones and zeros doesn’t mean we forget that technology serves humans, not the
other way around. We are a people-to-people business (that happens to use computers).
A SENSE OF HUMOUR
We’re serious when we have to be. The rest of the time, we believe work is better when it’s fun!
About David Broadbent
Founder and Director of Dalton Cyber Security
I’ve been in the IT game for a while now – it all started with a Computer Science degree back in 2001.
But that young graduate wasn’t quite ready for the office environment and so, seduced by the prospect of adventure, I joined the British Army and enjoyed a varied 17-year career. Upon leaving the military, I returned to my first calling, completing an MSc in Cyber Security and finally entering the corporate world.
I cut my teeth working on a wide range of projects to improve the cyber-security of businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large multi-nationals and UK Government departments. Then, in 2023 and eager for a new challenge, I founded Dalton Cyber Security.
I myself was once a victim of a violent crime. This, together with a sense of public service developed during my time in uniform, is what drives me to help others protect themselves and their businesses from the threat of cyber crime.
