Why Shards

Built by Practitioners, Not Salespeople.

Shards Cybersecurity was founded by Pável Laska — twelve years in cybersecurity, nine of them protecting critical financial infrastructure at the Bank of England. His former Bank of England colleague Jon Bird joined as consultant.

We started Shards because the security tooling we built for the largest institutions never reached the small and medium businesses they depend on. We're fixing that.
