Kubus
A UK-based managed IT and security services provider bundling converged infrastructure, network security, endpoint protection, and privileged access management into a single managed offering for mid-market clients.

Kubus is a UK-headquartered managed service provider that has been offering IT infrastructure services since 2003 and has since built out a structured managed security practice on top of that base. Rather than developing its own detection technology, Kubus packages and manages third-party security tools — organized around six pillars it calls advanced endpoint protection, next-generation firewall, observability, physical security, privileged access management, and remote-worker security — alongside its core converged infrastructure, data center, and multi-cloud networking services.
Based in Cirencester, England, with additional operations in the US and the Nordics, Kubus is a relatively small operation by enterprise standards: about 65 employees generating roughly £39.5 million in annual revenue as of its most recent reported fiscal year. In October 2024, UK growth investor BGF put £9 million into the company to fund further expansion, a genuine third-party capital event rather than a vendor-reported growth claim.
Because Kubus’s security offering is built on integrating and managing established third-party products rather than proprietary technology, its effectiveness is largely a function of the underlying vendors it resells and operates on a client’s behalf, plus the quality of its own managed-services delivery — neither of which was independently benchmarked in the sources reviewed for this profile. It is best understood as a regional managed-security integrator for mid-market clients rather than a technology innovator.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Kubus has organized and continued to publicize new security offerings under its 'Security Kube' framework, showing incremental service expansion, though it relies on integrating third-party technology rather than shipping its own product releases.
With roughly 65 employees and about £39.5M in annual revenue, Kubus operates at a real but modest scale relative to enterprise-focused security vendors, serving mid-market clients primarily in the UK.
BGF's £9 million investment in October 2024 is a genuine, independently reported growth-capital event that supports continued expansion.
Kubus's security business model is to integrate and manage established third-party tools (EDR, NGFW, PAM) rather than build proprietary detection technology, making it an integrator rather than an innovator in this category.
Because the underlying security capability comes from third-party vendors Kubus resells and manages, efficacy is largely inherited from those products; no independent evaluation of Kubus's own managed-service delivery quality was found.
Kubus serves as a practical option for UK mid-market organizations wanting a single managed provider for infrastructure and security, but it is less relevant to larger enterprises with in-house security teams evaluating best-of-breed technology.
Why CISOs Should Care
Mid-market organizations without the scale to manage multiple point security vendors directly can use Kubus as a single managed provider bundling infrastructure and security operations.
What Makes It Different
Kubus differentiates on breadth and bundling — combining converged infrastructure, cloud networking, and a structured six-pillar security offering under one managed contract — rather than on proprietary security technology.
The Matrix Verdict
45/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
A credible, growing regional managed IT and security integrator for the UK mid-market, but its value comes from service delivery and vendor integration rather than original security innovation.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
The BGF investment, founding year, and revenue/employee figures are corroborated by independent business press and financial-data sources. Specific claims about the effectiveness of its bundled security offerings are Kubus's own marketing and were not independently verified for this profile.
