Tarian Labs shields SMEs from cyber threats

A Welsh cybersecurity duo have launched a new venture.

Tarian Labs, founded by industry veterans Marc Hill and Kevin Hanford, aims to provide small and medium-sized businesses with enterprise-grade cyber protection. 

Both founders previously worked at one of Wales’ leading cybersecurity organisations, defending critical infrastructure and government networks from complex threats.

Spotting a growing trend of cyber-attacks targeting smaller businesses, Marc, based in Newport, and Kevin, from Swansea, founded Tarian Labs to level the security playing field. 

The company delivers protection previously reserved for large organisations, helping SMEs identify vulnerabilities, strengthen systems and implement robust improvements.

Marc said: “Having worked with some of the UK’s leading cybersecurity organisations, we became increasingly concerned that smaller businesses, many of which we use and trust every day, were being left vulnerable. 

“Too often, they relied on generic, off-the-shelf software that simply couldn’t keep up with modern threats. 

“We knew something had to change.

“Some of our friends who run small businesses have had their entire systems compromised or been hit by ransomware, putting both their livelihoods and employees at risk. 

“They didn’t know how to recover or protect themselves and that’s the problem Tarian Labs was created to solve.”

Named after the Welsh word for “shield,” Tarian Labs offers a range of services designed to keep smaller businesses resilient against evolving online threats. 

With cyber-attacks increasingly hitting organisations of all sizes, the company provides reassurance that SMEs can operate safely and confidently in today’s digital landscape.

Kevin added: “At Tarian Labs, we provide small businesses with the same level of checks and safeguards that major corporations use to protect their systems. 

“From cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing to phishing simulations, we ensure business owners have peace of mind knowing their systems are thoroughly tested and as secure as possible.

“We don’t want to overcomplicate things for our customers. 

“We offer straightforward, affordable solutions that businesses can put in place, with the confidence that their systems are protected to the same standard as government networks.

“Big consultancy firms often offer cybersecurity solutions that are complicated, slow, and full of technical jargon. 

“We do things differently. 

“At Tarian Labs, we offer straightforward, affordable solutions that businesses can put in place with the confidence that their systems are protected to the same standard as government networks.

“As our customers you speak directly to the people protecting your systems, and we handle all the cyber work – all you need to do is call us.”
