A Small Team.
A Big Difference.

Solusec was founded by Daly Whyte, a UK-based cyber security specialist with hands-on experience across both sides of the fence, from breaking into systems during penetration tests to building and leading the security programmes that defend them.

You will not deal with a sales team, a project manager, or a junior analyst. Every engagement is delivered personally by a qualified and experienced expert, meaning faster turnaround, clearer communication, and advice that makes sense to both your IT team and your board.

Beyond client work, original vulnerability research has led to multiple publicly disclosed CVEs in commercial products from global manufacturers, alongside being a recognised researcher with the Synack Red Team where he has discover 500+ vulnerabilities.
