Inside the Fort Newsletter – February 2025 Edition
🎉 BlueFort Turns 18! 🎉
February 2025 marks a major milestone – BlueFort is officially “coming of age”! Turning 18 is a rite of passage, and for us, it’s a moment to reflect on 18 incredible years in cybersecurity.
What began as a vision to provide a focused and agile expert in identity and mobility, has grown into BlueFort becoming one of the UK’s leading cybersecurity solution partners. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the sacrifices, risks, and trust of so many.
To our employees past and present – we thank them for their dedication and passion. To our families – their support has been invaluable. To our customers – you’ve been the heart of our success.
Many of you placed your trust in us when BlueFort was just getting started, and we’re proud to say so many of you are still with us today. Your belief in us has been our greatest motivator.
As we step into 2025, we’re more excited than ever to deliver innovative, impactful cybersecurity solutions – but first it’s time to celebrate!
In the coming weeks, we’ll share our gratitude and celebrate with those clients who’ve been part of this incredible journey.
Here’s to the next chapter of BlueFort’s story – because adulthood is just the beginning!
Thank you to everyone who’s helped us get here. Let’s continue building a safer, smarter future together.
Warm regards Dave Henderson
The Importance of a Vulnerability Disclosure Program
VDPs have been around for decades, but their role in modern cybersecurity is more critical than ever. Beyond identifying security gaps, they tap into a global community of ethical hackers working to strengthen defences. In our latest blog, we explore how VDPs work and why they matter.
Modernising Security and Networking for Generative AI Applications
Generative AI is no longer a concept—it’s mainstream. As organisations transition from experimenting with AI, to scaling it for production, challenges arise. Discover how BlueFort Security, in partnership with F5, is helping businesses navigate this journey.

Beyond the Boardroom: Meet our CEO & Co-Founder
As CEO and co-founder of BlueFort, Ian Jennings is at the forefront of cybersecurity, leading the technical and business operations at our busy HQ in Farnborough. But when he’s not pulling his hair out over CRM systems and demo platforms, what does he do?
We sat down with Ian to find out who he really is—how he ended up in cybersecurity, what drives him, and what he gets up to outside of work. It turns out he’s often trying to fix as much at home as he is in the office, perfecting his pizza making skills, or passionately debating the latest cybersecurity trends—ideally over a good coffee (or something stronger!)
The cybersecurity sector faces an effectiveness challenge. Despite the constant emergence of new technologies, notable breaches still persist. To thwart these attacks, the industry must embrace a fresh strategy centered around security operations. This is precisely where BlueFort comes into play.
Addressing the complexity of cybersecurity, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) provides critical visibility, active testing and ongoing security controls.
In the data-driven business landscape, success hinges on effective data management. BlueFort’s Optimised SIEM transforms data usage, ensuring control and visibility for robust cybersecurity.
In the era of digital transformation, traditional security models fall short. Zero trust, with IAM, ensures continuous verification, enhancing cybersecurity against evolving threats.
