Risk Ledger, a network security company based in the United Kingdom, is opening a new office in Montgomery County. The news was announced at a breakfast hosted by the State of Maryland at the annual RSA Conference, which brings together thousands of professionals from throughout the cybersecurity industry.
“Maryland has built one of the strongest cybersecurity ecosystems in the world, and companies like Risk Ledger are helping us make it even stronger.”

Risk Ledger is developing a platform that protects companies from supply chain cybersecurity threats and boosts business-wide resilience. The company currently has 78 workers in the U.K.
“At Risk Ledger, we’re pioneering Active Supply Chain Security, a new approach that connects organisations and suppliers on a shared network to identify systemic risks and emerging threats in real time. Expanding into Maryland allows us to work alongside one of the world’s most advanced cybersecurity communities as we help organisations strengthen the resilience of their supply chains,” said Haydn Brooks, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Risk Ledger.
The company will join the Rockville Innovation Center through Commerce’s Global Gateway Soft Landing program, with plans to hire nearly a dozen workers over the next year.
