Cyb3r Operations said it has raised £4 million in seed funding in a round led by Octopus Ventures, with follow-on investment from Pi Labs, as the company looks to accelerate product development and expand its team.
In a LinkedIn post, the company said the new capital will be used to “move faster” across several priorities, including building out a high-performing team, scaling its platform, and deepening the intelligence capabilities that underpin its work helping organizations manage third-party risk before it escalates into a security incident.
Third-party risk has become a growing focus for cybersecurity teams as organizations increasingly rely on suppliers, service providers, and software vendors to run critical operations. That interconnected ecosystem can create new exposure: an incident affecting one provider can ripple across multiple customers, and attackers often look for the weakest link in extended supply chains. Cyb3r Operations positioned its offering around helping organizations spot and address these vulnerabilities earlier—before they result in operational disruption, data loss, or regulatory and reputational fallout.
The company did not disclose a valuation, the specific terms of the financing, or a timeline for the deployment of the funds. However, it said the seed round will support increased capacity to serve more organizations, suggesting a near-term push to broaden its customer footprint alongside continued investment in platform capabilities.
Cyb3r Operations also emphasized the importance of customer feedback and internal execution as it scales. In the post, the company thanked its customers, team members, and investors for supporting its growth plans and indicated it expects to share additional milestones in the future.
The funding comes as UK and European cybersecurity startups continue to compete for capital in an environment where investors are increasingly focused on measurable impact, clear differentiation, and urgent enterprise demand. For companies operating in the third-party risk category, that demand has been reinforced by a steady drumbeat of vendor-related incidents and the expanding scope of security and compliance expectations placed on organizations.
Cyb3r Operations said it believes the round positions it to build on early momentum and accelerate toward its next phase of growth, adding that “there’s a lot more to come.”
