Meet the Founders
James Bending
For over 20 years James has worked with some of the largest businesses in world, learning their biggest challenges and resolving their critical issues. He has seen the rise of cyber crime and security take center stage at the highest level of decision making across all verticals globally.
His experience with over a 1000 customers in this time has shown the gateway for many cyber attacks starts with impersonation of both domains and brands and in 2025 decided it was time to do something about it.
David Batey
For over 20 years, David has been at the forefront of building cutting-edge web applications. A computer science graduate and experienced software engineer, he's successfully founded, grown, and sold tech businesses, and was lead developer at a startup acquired by eBay.
Witnessing the alarming rise in mirrored and cloned site attacks, he decided in 2025 it was time to tackle this issue head-on.
