The network segmentation and isolation specialist, Goldilock, has announced the expansion of its British HQ operations to support its rapid growth. A selected NATO technology partner, Goldilock has developed a unique network isolation and segmentation device that ring-fences networks away from the Internet to make them inaccessible to hackers.

In particular, Goldilock has developed a network isolation tool branded FireBreak and is expanding its manufacturing and testing facilities in the University of Wolverhampton Science Park to help deliver on increasingly numbers of large orders from its growing global customer base.

FireBreak's applications for critical networks and sensitive data mean the product is being used by organisations responsible for critical national infrastructure (CNI) globally including the Ukrainian Cyber Command, as well as in sectors such as financial services, healthcare and manufacturing.

Over the past year, FireBreak has won Goldilock a place on multiple accelerators including the prestigious NATO DIANA programme and the British Defence Minitry's Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).

Goldilock has worked quickly to expand its channel partner programme and now collaborates with over 50 partners across 18 countries in Europe, while the company’s headcount in the West Midlands hub has doubled over the course of the year to support a rapidly expanding customer base.

FireBreak’s applications for defence and deployment by large UK CNI companies means Goldilock’s UK facilities, located in the West Midlands area, have undergone official vetted by both NATO and UK security regulators.

Anticipating continued growth over the next few years, Goldilock expects to increase the team to 32 employees by the end of 2025 and forecasts that it will be able to create 44 new jobs in the area between now and the end of 2027, the majority of which will be engineers to help service customer orders for FireBreak as they continue to grow in size and number.

In comment, Stephen Kines, co-founder and COO of Goldilock said “With sophisticated ransomware and AI-powered attacks on a continuous rise, paired with the increasing interconnectedness of systems, Goldilock's technology provides a critical, foundational layer of defence...

The West Midlands offers us an invaluable hub for innovation, providing access to a diverse pool of talented tech professionals and a supportive business environment from which we can continue to grow the business and get our critical product to where it’s needed most, as quickly as possible."
