Hut Six

Hut Six is a UK-based cybersecurity company founded in 2016, headquartered in Newport, Wales. The company specializes in security awareness training delivered as a B2B SaaS platform, targeting organizations ranging from small businesses to large multinationals and government agencies. Their platform combines several components: animated and interactive training tutorials, a customizable phishing simulator, and a Learning Management System (LMS). The training content is designed to be bite-sized and engaging, covering a broad range of information security topics beyond phishing, including GDPR compliance and general cyber hygiene applicable both in the workplace and at home. Organizations can use the platform to assign training to employees, track completion and behavior, and measure the effectiveness of their security awareness programs. The platform is designed to meet board-level compliance requirements while remaining accessible and engaging for end users, including WCAG-aligned accessibility standards. Hut Six is backed by Wesley Clover (Sir Terry Matthews' VC fund), the Development Bank of Wales, and other private investors. The company is an alumnus of The Alacrity Foundation. Notable customers include Getronics, World Skills UK, and the UK Met Office. The company name is inspired by Hut 6 at Bletchley Park during World War II, referencing the role human error played in breaking the Enigma cipher — a concept that underpins their focus on the human element of cybersecurity.
