Othrys is a global strategic and risk advisory firm founded in 2016. We specialise in helping clients to understand and navigate a safe course through the threats that they face in an increasingly dangerous world. Our core team has many year’s experience of operating at the highest level of the security communitry, defence, law enforcement and diplomacy. We have a very high level of expertise in cyber and we work closely with a network of companies developing leading-edge technology in security and intelligence. We have a global reach and work with governments, FTSE-listed companies, NGO’s and many SME’s and technology start-ups. Our clients typically face complex problems that have an element of threat which may be that from nation states, organised crime or competitors. They may face insider threats and many need help to protect their staff and their IP. All are facing the challenge of dealing with an increasingly unpredictable and complicated international risk environment. Our senior team have worked in many countries. They have experience building long term strategy and also dealing with sudden crises. Our clients trust us because of the judgement and contacts that comes from our experience operating at a nation state level and to this we add a versatile and innovative approach to the application of new technologies. We provide analysis, advice and strategic planning. Unlike many consultancies we go beyond this and we deploy our teams to implement that advice, build capacity where necessary and deliver the strategies that our clients need to deal with the threats they face and add long term value to their business.
