Meet Adarma’s Cyber Defenders: Celebrating People

At Adarma, we firmly believe that people are the heartbeat of our organisation. Our success isn’t solely defined by the cutting-edge technology we deploy or the resources we contribute to security teams; it’s rooted in the talent, expertise, and unwavering dedication of our team.

We strive not only to meet but to exceed customer expectations, consistently earning praise for our knowledge, passion, transparency, accountability, and commitment. Our approach is about more than what we do; it’s about how we do it, forging true partnerships that instil trust and delight our customers.

In recognition of our most valuable asset—our people—we’re excited to unveil our latest initiative, Cyber Defenders.

More than just a campaign, Cyber Defenders is an ongoing celebration of the exceptional individuals powering Adarma and contributing to our success. We’re proud to introduce our inaugural Cyber Defenders cohort: Liliana Everett, Software Engineer; Cian Heasley, Threat Team Lead; and Ashleigh Ross, Transformation Manager.

For 10 years Cian worked as a chef at a number of Edinburgh restaurants, before choosing to pursue a degree and career in cybersecurity. Ashleigh currently works in the Business Operations Team but has worked in three different departments throughout her 12 years at Adarma, so has a varied experience of working in a cybersecurity organisation. Liliana’s journey from designer to defender proves that all skills are transferrable, especially when it comes to cybersecurity. At Adarma, Liliana works on the software platform that helps engineers and analysts to be as efficient as possible.

Get the full story by exploring their unique stories on our Cyber Defenders page, where they share insights into their journeys in cybersecurity. Liliana, Cian, and Ashleigh have played pivotal roles in kickstarting this initiative, and we extend our big thank you to them for their participation and for sharing their inspiring stories.

Raising Awareness of Cybersecurity Careers

Cyber Defenders serves a dual purpose, reflecting our commitment not only to our clients but to the industry at large. Firstly, it introduces our customers to the dedicated individuals safeguarding their organisations. By showcasing the faces and stories behind Adarma, we offer a glimpse into the passion driving the individuals contributing to solutions that significantly benefit our customers.

Secondly, as part of our wider company mission to build a sustainable digital landscape, Cyber Defenders aims to drive inclusion and address the digital skills gap. We want to raise awareness about cybersecurity careers to a broader audience by highlighting the variety of personalities, roles, and opportunities that exist within the industry. The initiative aims to dispel outdated perceptions of what it means to work in cybersecurity. By presenting real stories and experiences, we hope to inspire a new generation of cyber professionals and attract diverse talent to the field.
