Crossword Cybersecurity Plc, the cybersecurity solutions company focused on cyber strategy and risk, announces that it has signed a three-year, exclusive partnership with the UK subsidiary of a global aerospace, defence and security company, to jointly market Rizikon, the supply chain cyber platform, to selected sub-sectors within the UK critical national infrastructure (CNI) market. 

The partnership will be publicly launched to clients by both parties in the next few weeks. Supply chain cyber security risks are an increasing challenge for all organisations, as a number of recent high-profile incidents have demonstrated.

The partner has identified a particular need for clients across the CNI sector, who all need to minimise cyber risks across their third-party partners and supply chains and will take a comprehensive solution to market based on their services and expertise, with Crossword’s Rizikon supply chain platform delivered as a service to clients.

Stuart Jubb, Group MD and incoming CEO of Crossword, said: “This is a transformational partnership for Crossword with a global scale, innovative defence and security partner with an outstanding reputation. This Rizikon partnership will enable us to help multiple, large scale CNI organisations make their supply chains more secure. This partnership will drive significant growth in Crossword’s Rizikon revenue, as already forecast in 2024, and has the potential to generate several million pounds over the coming years.”
