Sunny’s route into cyber security began after he was the victim of a serious fraudulent cyberattack.

Determined to understand how it had happened and help others avoid the same experience, he developed a deep interest in cyber security and went on to establish Cybercy.

Today, Cybercy helps organisations strengthen their cyber security, improve data protection and adopt AI responsibly.

The business works with clients to understand their risks, develop practical plans, implement the right measures and provide ongoing support as their requirements evolve.

From its Midlands base, Cybercy has grown into a global business with offices in the UK, UAE and India.

Its team combines cyber security, data protection and AI expertise to help organisations navigate increasingly complex risks, regulations and technology decisions.

Sunny said: “Being named a finalist is a real honour, particularly in a category that recognises businesses with an international outlook.

“Cybercy was founded from a difficult personal experience, but it has grown because of the commitment of our team and the trust our clients place in us.

“Cyber security, data protection and responsible AI are now central business issues for organisations everywhere. We have always wanted to make those areas more practical and accessible, helping clients understand where they are today, what they need to improve and how to move forward with confidence.

“I am proud that a business built in the Midlands is now supporting organisations internationally, and grateful to everyone who has been part of that journey.”
