    • Titania awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation, the highest official award that can be bestowed on a UK business
    • Company founded by an innovative  entrepreneur working in ethical hacking and cyber defence
    • Uniquely intelligent technology automates the detailed cyber vulnerability assessment of top industry consultants

    A Queen’s Award for Innovation is the highest official award that can be given to a UK business – and in 2017 it was presented to Titania as proof of the company’s growth, innovation and success.

    The brainchild of a cyber intelligence specialist in the security sector, Titania comes from humble beginnings; but, with a truly unique technology offering, founder and CEO, Ian Whiting, has proven that his company is open for big business – prestigious clients include the U.S. Department of Defense, DoE, DoA, VA & US Treasury as well as the UK government, FBI, PayPal, and Deloitte.

    Nicola Whiting, COO at Titania said “To me, the Queen stands for everything that is right and good about the UK; during the war she worked as a mechanic and military driver, she also insisted on not being evacuated. To receive an award from someone who has shown unfailing strength in a time of constant attack, is a true honor and a fitting analogy when thinking about the vigilance and foresight needed for cyber security.”

    In the past eight years, Titania has grown from a start-up to an enterprise serving 95 countries worldwide, defending over 27 million end points. “90% of business is from exports and America is a major market for Titania” continued Whiting “it’s a great place to do business as they’re very open to new innovations, particularly those that increase operational efficiency and defense.”

    Recent research from cyber security association (ISC)2 highlights, the critical skills gap in cyber, with a predicted shortfall of 1.8m cyber security workers by 2022. Technology and smart automation can help to overcome this global issue, increase operational efficiency and ensure that the cyber security essentials are always covered.

    Titania’s core technologies - Nipper Studio and Paws Studio – intelligently automate labour-intensive line by line analysis of configuration and operating system data with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The solutions give pentesters and enterprise teams detailed analysis of systems defences, monitoring capabilities, any exploitable vulnerabilities, and non-compliance with regulations such as CIS, STIG, SANS, NSA, NERC and PCI. Titania’s unique virtual modelling technology also builds human understanding into how device settings interact with each other, giving an accurate picture of security and compliance with precise risks and remediation actions. So adding Titania's configuration analysis to enterprise security solutions provides a true baseline of accurate information that helps prepare the organization for fully autonomous mitigation and self-healing systems.

    The Queen’s Award was presented by the Royal Family at a special ceremony in 2017.

    About Titania: Titania are world leaders in configuration analysis tools, helping to protect over 27 million end users in 95 countries. Our pioneering virtual modelling technology ensures that our configuration analysis tools deliver a level of detail and accuracy that previously only manual penetration testing achieved – and it does it on an enterprise scale at unprecedented speed.

    Nipper Studio performs analysis of firewalls, routers, switches and other network devices. Paws Studio performs analysis of servers, workstations, laptops, enterprise applications and systems running Windows, Linux or Mac OS. Both tools can be used onsite, online, offline, in the cloud, virtually or integrated into an enterprise system. Their accuracy is certified.

  • "Protecting against cyber attack calls for a significant commitment of time and resource but one UK supplier has developed a new tool to free up manpower... A dramatic time-saving innovation for device security validation. "
    MOD Defence Contracts Bulletin

    Many have predicted the rise in automated cyber-attacks. This threat has generated a wave of new industry tools and corporate mergers in an attempt to create (and own) the ultimate “silver bullet”. One UK company has a different solution…


    Providing an alternative but complementary viewpoint to the many technology providers focussed on ‘live attacks’ – Titania proposes a solution whereby cyber experts only need to focus on Zero Day threats, as all the other vulnerabilities, the ‘easy options’ (which in the end often amount to poor cyber hygiene) are completely eliminated.

    For anyone working in security who knows this approach requires autonomous mitigation, it may seem like “mission impossible” akin to Kennedy’s dream of reaching the moon. Whilst eminently doable, in order to achieve fully self-healing and defending systems we need to provide AI’s with an accurate baseline of essential information to make autonomous mitigation decisions.

    What currently stands in its way is the plethora of inaccurate information that current systems are plagued with. Independent research on some of these systems, show tools that are providing less than 20% accuracy. This is generating enough false-positives to make finding a vulnerability like listening for a whisper in a rock concert.

    So what’s the solution?
    Titania believes it is in automating the same “line by line” configuration analysis and process of interpretation, which expert penetration testers perform manually. Titania’s technology does this at scale, at speed - and with unprecedented accuracy. Through them, industry partners have already begun to unlock the potential for fully autonomous and self-mitigating / defending systems.

    Titania will be demonstrating these world-leading systems at AFCEA Defensive Cyber Operations Symposium (May 15-17, Baltimore), and explaining how they support Military and Government clients around the world to develop adaptive, resilient and effective networks. Users include the U.S. Department of Defense, DoE, DoA, VA & US Treasury as well as the UK government, FBI, PayPal, and Deloitte.

    At the Symposium, Ian Whiting, CEO & Founder of Titania and former accredited Penetration Tester, will be sharing how, it is possible to quickly gain detailed knowledge of systems defences, the monitoring capabilities that have been deployed, and any exploitable vulnerabilities/non-compliance with regulations such as STIG, CIS SANS, NSA, and NERC.

    The tools are widely regarded as 100% accurate, a fact independently verified by CIS and military experts.  They can audit online and in the cloud but can also audit networks that are secret or air-gapped - with equal efficiency. According to Gartner, Nipper Studio is: “the only offline configuration tool”, this combined with their continual monitoring capabilities makes them perfectly positioned to be a linchpin in solving the pressing problem of autonomous mitigation and defense.

    Nicola Whiting CSO of Titania says: “As more regulation and best practice is introduced to address the growing number of major breaches, compliance is increasingly being pushed to the top of the risk register. Our automated configuration and build reviews validate compliance and provide remediation advice – in detail, at speed and with unprecedented accuracy.”

    “I’m looking forward to speaking to cyber leaders and warriors about security ecosystems that de-risk and prepare the organisation for fully autonomous mitigation and self-healing systems. It’s what’s needed to free up our cyber experts, so they can focus on attack capability. ”.
