SudoCyber, founded by Jason Davies, Marc Del-Valle, and John Davies, all former Armed Forces members, secured investment to fuel growth plans for their gamified training business. Their innovative platform is utilized by the military, police, academia, and industry.
Established in 2021 in Brecon, SudoCyber has rapidly grown as an online training brand. Initially focused on training military personnel, the company has since expanded to include Cyber Crime Police Officers.
In 2024, SudoCyber secured a three-year contract to train Cyber Crime Police Officers across all UK forces and the UK's ten Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCU). The company also collaborates with several universities in Wales, including Wrexham University, University of South Wales, and Cardiff University.
This marks SudoCyber's first investment round, enabling the 11-member team to expand, recruit, enhance services, build the sales and marketing team, and pursue international growth.
With the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, it is essential that organisations maintain a knowledge of cutting-edge cybersecurity. We have equipped soldiers with the necessary skills to counter nation-state threats and this previous experience, insight and expertise has contributed to our success. From very early conversations with Foresight, we realised that we were aligned in driving the issue of cyber security forward.
- Marc Del-Valle Chief Executive Officer, SudoCyber
We’re excited at the prospect this equity investment presents. We have ambitions to further develop the gamified elements of our learning platform, and to expand our client base in the UK and internationally. This includes reaching out to more universities where lecturers in cyber security appreciate being able to outsource some modules to benefit from our expertise.
- Jason Davies CTO and Co-founder, SudoCyber
