Managing Consultant

Ed Hare, Managing Consultant, started his career in the diplomatic corps, working on international political, economic & security issues. He then moved into consulting, specialising in working with large international technology firms to improve their AI, big data, cloud & cyber security lines of business, & leading many cross-border due diligence enquiries & investigations to assist clients make key decisions regarding new acquisitions, alliances, partnerships & senior executive hires.

Ed also handled many training assignments, developing & delivering training in commercial, government and university contexts.

As the world went increasingly online & the cyber security threat worsened globally in the mid-2010s, Ed began to see this as one of the defining issues of our time. Large corporations like those Ed was working with at the time could spend millions of pounds to buy their way to security, but small organisations, individuals & families were largely being left to fend for themselves.

Ed therefore devoted his time increasingly to understanding how individuals & small organisations, especially those operating at high threat levels, could best defend themselves without having access to large budgets. At first, Ed applied these lessons to his own consulting firm, leading a successful multi-year cyber security transformation to meet the increasing threat level. Then, in 2022, Ed established Keosetech in order to help other small organisations, as well as individuals, effectively guard against cyber crime, cyber-enabled fraud, real world security risks, & threats to privacy.
