Cyber Rebels Launches to Make Cybersecurity Human, Practical and Powerful for UK Businesses

Founded in February 2025, the company is already on a mission to empower people with real-world cyber skills-without jargon, fear or fluff
Cyber Rebels, a new UK cybersecurity training company founded in February 2025, is on a mission to protect small and medium-sized businesses from preventable cyber threats by changing the way people think about cybersecurity.
Founded by experienced cybersecurity educator Andy Longhurst, Cyber Rebels was born out of frustration with how cybersecurity is typically delivered: technical, impersonal, and reactive. Andy, who has spent years working in digital education and adult training, saw a gap in the market for something more human-something practical, approachable, and built around the everyday risks that real businesses face.
"I've worked with businesses and individuals long enough to see how often cyber training is overlooked-or delivered in a way that goes over people's heads," says Longhurst. "We started Cyber Rebels to fix that. To create a space where people can ask questions, make mistakes, and learn how to protect themselves and their business without jargon or fear."
Cyber Rebels is already working with SMEs and growing organisations to reduce human error, build everyday cyber confidence, and embed lasting security habits into workplace culture-while supporting wider compliance goals like GDPR and Cyber Essentials where needed.
Clare Turner-Marshall serves as Business Development Manager, supporting growth and outreach. With a background in operational strategy and client engagement, Clare ensures that Cyber Rebels' message reaches the businesses that need it most-even those who may not yet realise how vulnerable they are.
Cyber Rebels offers:
Quick 2-Hour Awareness Sessions - Ideal for busy teams who need a fast, effective overview of phishing, password security, and device protection.
Half- and Full-Day Workshops - Hands-on, scenario-based sessions that go beyond awareness to build real, actionable skills.
Tailored Training Programmes - Industry-specific, role-based learning built around your real-world risks, daily tasks, and the way your team actually works.
Flexible Delivery - On-site, virtual or hybrid formats available to suit all team setups, including remote and hybrid workforces.
"We're not here to scare people into buying antivirus software," says Longhurst. "We're here to change mindsets-to help people realise that cyber safety is something they can own and feel good about."
Whether helping a startup founder avoid common threats or guiding a finance team through phishing simulations, Cyber Rebels focuses on the small, everyday habits that prevent big incidents.
