Keose helps individuals, families and small organisations deal with fraud, hacking, threats and harassment — then recover, improve their security and move forward with confidence.
Keose comes from the Old Norse kios: a township or hollow at the sea’s edge. A safe harbour in difficult weather.

Connected risks
A stolen phone can become account fraud. Leaked personal data can enable harassment or stalking. A questionable supplier can expose both systems and people.
Keose looks at the whole situation, both cyber and physical / real world, coordinates the response and stays focused on what will make you safer.
Experience
Ed started his career in the diplomatic corps, working on international security issues. He then moved into consulting for large international technology firms, delivering competitive intelligence and strategy support. Ed also led many cross-border due diligence projects and investigations, and delivered training packages in government, university and corporate settings.
As the world went increasingly online and the cyber security threat worsened in the mid-2010s, Ed led his own private intelligence firm through a multi-year security transformation to meet the rigorous standards of its large multinational clients. He established Keose in order to help other small organisations, as well as individuals, dealing with serious security threats.
