LORCA collaborates with Splunk for data-led expertise

The London Office for Rapid Cybersecurity Advancement (LORCA) has announced a co-marketing collaboration with data-to-everything platform Splunk.

Splunk will provide LORCA’s membership of cyber security scaleups with product and growth expertise. It joins co-marketing program alongside Lloyds Banking Group, Dell Technologies, Kudelski Security, Global Cyber Alliance and Kx.

As part of the scheme, Splunk will provide LORCA’s startup members - that join Splunk’s OEM Embedded Licensing Programme - with technical and engineering guidance, including access to its embedded licensing programme, to help them scale their business.

Using machine learning, the platform monitors, investigates, analyses and acts on all forms of business, IT, security, and Internet of Things data to build data queries and visualisations. As a result, LORCA’s cyber scaleup members can use their data to inform business development and growth.

LORCA is delivered by Plexal, the innovation centre and coworking space established by Delancey. Backed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, it acts as a catalyst for the cyber security industry in the UK and is delivered by Plexal’s innovation team, in collaboration with Deloitte and the Centre for Secure Information Technologies.

LORCA has supported 72 companies through its programme, which between them have secured over £150 million in investment.

Saj Huq, director of LORCA, said: “Delivering a programme for the most promising cyber companies in the world means providing support from partners with the expertise to match this potential.

"Our aim is to be a catalyst for collaboration - Splunk adds another prestigious name to our partner ecosystem, which is crucial to helping the UK cyber industry thrive.”
