London-based cybersecurity startup that maps third-party cyber threats in real time.
Cyb3r Operations has secured $5.4m in funding to expand its real-time third-party cyber threat mapping platform. The round was led by Octopus Ventures, with additional participation from existing backer Pi Labs.
The London-based business replaces traditional annual questionnaires and static audits with automated intelligence that integrates across an organisation's technology stack. The new capital will be directed towards scaling the platform, enhancing threat intelligence features, and helping more enterprises manage supply chain cyber risks.
Founder and CEO Vincent Cook established the venture to address persistent blind spots in external supplier security. The latest investment brings the firm's total capital raised to $6.8m.
From the founder
"Cyb3r Operations originally started as a consultancy to test whether automated intelligence could replace manual, point-in-time assessments,"

Investor perspective
"We invested in Cyb3r Operations because they’re tackling a critical blind spot in cybersecurity: the growing gap between perceived third-party risk and real exposure. As organisations scale their digital ecosystems, risk now flows through suppliers, SaaS tools and hidden dependencies, but most teams are still operating reactively. Cyb3r Operations delivers continuous, contextual visibility across the tech stack, making third-party risk genuinely actionable."
