About Us
We believe
A better cyberspace starts with security by design and privacy by default
Lycaon was born in the United Kingdom in 2020. When a group of friends went out one night and began discussing how they had witnessed their internal teams struggling to stay on top of security vulnerabilities in their web and product stacks. While on the other hand, their marketing teams casually voided user privacy for analytics and marketing research because of the tools they used.
We decided then and there we wanted to create a better cyberspace where security is by design and privacy is by default.
