Cyber resilience advisory and ecosystem builder backed by Temasek
ISTARI is a four-year-old cybersecurity advisory firm built on a Temasek-backed model focused on whole-of-organization resilience strategies. The tech stack reveals an Azure-native, cloud-first operational footprint with heavy Microsoft tooling (Defender, Sentinel, Front Door), plus early AI adoption (Claude, Copilot, Cursor) — consistent with their stated push into AI-powered internal tools for advisory work. Active hiring skews security and executive roles, with one engineering hire and a NetSuite implementation underway, signaling both advisory scaling and back-office infrastructure modernization as near-term priorities.
ISTARI advises global enterprises on cyber resilience strategy and risk management, structured around a "whole-of-company" operating model rather than point-solution sales. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in London, the firm operates a network-driven approach that connects academia, practitioners, policymakers, and enterprise clients. Current operations span the United Kingdom and United States, with active efforts to scale advisory capacity, develop new market segments, and build differentiated consulting methodologies. Nine open roles (4 posted in the last 30 days) and ongoing NetSuite ERP implementation reflect near-term focus on staffing the advisory practice and restructuring financial operations.
ISTARI's primary stack is Azure-native: Azure, Azure Front Door, Web Application Firewall, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, plus Kubernetes and Docker. Recent AI tools include Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. NetSuite is being actively implemented.
ISTARI is headquartered in London, England. The firm was established in 2020 and currently hires in the United Kingdom and United States.
