Cheshire based cyber security firm pushes for growth amidst success

As part of Bdaily’s feature week investigating the cyber security industry, I hear from one of enpointX’s co-founders, Scott Lowe. The Cheshire-based business was founded in 2019 by former Bank of America and Barclays work colleagues Scott Lowe, Daniel Stead, Joe Michael and Tom Beasor.

Discussing the companies mission statement, Scott said, “At endpointX, our approach focuses on the preventative side of Cybersecurity. This is achieved by taking a proactive focus on IT hygiene, together with implementing great technology that improves your visibility of your computer estate.

“Essentially, We aim to do the boring meticulous work to reduce the chance of a breach or ransomware from even being possible.”

Since the companies conception, the preventative cyber security company endpointX has managed to increase its revenue by 245 per cent to £3.3m. The growth saw endpointX recognised as the 18th fastest growing tech company in the North at the 2023 Northern Tech Awards, held in Edinburgh.

When asked about the companies growth, Scott added, “The growth in the past 3 years has been incredible, winning customers in the UK, Nordics and Mainland Europe. We have a busy pipeline of demand and we are about to start hiring to meet this.

“We have also seen a big increase in companies wanting us to provide patching and vulnerability management services. This has meant we are continuing to hire bright, outstanding engineers and consultants in the region. We continue to closely partner with Tanium to provide world class technology which we use to provide our services.”

With the increased importance of cyber security, I was eager to find out what advice Scott had for companies uncertain of their cyber safety. Scott said, “Our customers range in size from 500 to 20,000 staff and upwards all across the UK and Europe. We see similar challenges in all of these and the global organisations we have previously worked for.

“I would suggest companies focus on identifying and monitoring every device on their network. You can’t defend what you don’t know about. Then you need to start focusing on managing these devices and ensuring that they are up to date and not a risk to your company. You need to invest sensibly before something happens, not once you’ve been affected because its often too late.”
