Q&A with CEO Mark Adams
What lies behind Vambrace’s lightning headcount growth?
Firstly, we’ve invested in building a SOC to provide midmarket and public sector organisations with a cloud-native, compliance-driven and affordable outsourced solution.
Secondly our development of MOBSTR, our mobile app security risk ratings platform.
What do you see as your biggest growth opportunity for the next 12 months?
Apple’s decision to allow 3rd party app stores in Europe is big news, further industry regulation, increase in outsourced cybersecurity services in mid-market, huge skills shortages in the sector….. I could go on and on.
What’s a strange or interesting fact about Vambrace most people won’t know?
Vambrace is a piece of body armour for the arm.
