The scale and nature of cyber security threats are largely misunderstood, even by vendors and experts with many years’​ experience. Threat actors are intelligent, educated, and highly motivated. They are well-informed of the tools and techniques commonly used to detect their activity. Often, malware demonstrates a level of sophistication far exceeding any anti-virus technology currently available.

If these sophisticated attackers were only targeting well-protected government institutions, this would be a difficult but manageable problem. But the internet means that any organisation can be a victim, either deliberately or by simply being online.

CORVID was created to help organisations mitigate this threat. CORVID provides a range of cyber protection and information assurance services that can be combined to form a total defence package, or selected individually to help augment an existing but incomplete cyber defence.

CORVID was developed in 2013 to safeguard Ultra’s military, aerospace, and critical infrastructure data, as well as that of its customers and supply chain. Ultra identified that traditional cyber defences were unable to combat the evolving complexity of cyber threats – CORVID was created to provide a more comprehensive solution to the cyber problem.

The protection CORVID offered to solve Ultra’s cyber challenges was so successful that the decision was taken to make the services available commercially. We’ve been leveraging our technologies, capabilities, and people to deliver industry-leading cyber protection for ourselves and our customers from the start.

Everything we do is driven by intelligence. Our company name comes from corvidae – the Latin name for the family of birds such as crows and ravens, which display remarkable intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
