Founder's Motivation
Background & Why!
Meet Damola, founder of CyberPhormX and a well-published author in digital forensics and cybersecurity, whose journey is marked by a passion for simplifying technology and sharing knowledge. From serving big clients like Honda, Heinz, and ABInBev as a network engineer to collaborating with government organizations, the private sector and developing multiple digital products concurrently, Damola has honed his skills in running lean teams on a budget, delivering exceptional results within reasonable timeframes.
​
It was during his interactions with some unmentioned companies and clients that Damola noticed a common thread: poor asset management practices and inadequate security controls. His research into the credibility and reliability of digital evidence further underscored the need for robust identification and accountability procedures.
Recognizing the critical importance of security from the early stages of a product or company, Damola believes that no founder should have to compromise on security to save money or resources. With firsthand experience of the challenges faced by startups and SMEs, Damola launched CyberPhormX to make cybersecurity easily accessible for these businesses.
