Goldilock, the network segmentation and isolation specialist backed by NATO, has announced the expansion of its West Midlands headquarters to support its rapid growth trajectory. The company behind network isolation tool, FireBreak, has expanded its manufacturing and testing facilities in the University of Wolverhampton Science Park to help deliver on increasing numbers of large orders coming in from its growing global customer base.
Goldilock is a UK based cyber security scaleup which has developed a unique network isolation and segmentation device that ringfences networks away from the internet to make them inaccessible to hackers. Over the past year, FireBreak has won Goldilock a place on multiple accelerators including the prestigious NATO DIANA programme and the MoD’s Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA). FireBreak’s applications for critical networks and sensitive data mean the product is being used by organisations responsible for critical national infrastructure (CNI) globally including the Ukrainian Cyber Command, as well as in sectors such as financial services, healthcare and manufacturing. Goldilock fuelled its growth in 2024 through expanding its channel partner programme, and now collaborates with over 50 partners across 18 countries in Europe, while the company’s headcount in the West Midlands hub has doubled over the course of the year to support a rapidly expanding customer base.
