Company Overview

ANGOKA Limited is a UK-based cybersecurity company headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with offices in London and The Hague. Founded to "redefine trust for digital infrastructure," ANGOKA specialises in machine-to-machine (M2M) security, quantum-safe authentication, and zero-trust access management for IoT and cyber-physical systems.

The company operates at the intersection of IoT security, autonomous systems, and space/defence communications. Their patented technology provides tamper-proof device identities and secure communications protocols for connected machines — from satellites and UAVs to autonomous vehicles and industrial control systems.

ANGOKA is a growth-stage startup with significant government-backed funding including DASA and ESA projects. In July 2025, Mark Gillan was appointed CEO to lead a new growth phase. Recognised as 'UK's Most Innovative Cyber SME' at Infosecurity Europe 2023.

Key Contacts

Products at Conference

ANGOKA is specifically showcasing Stellar Mesh at Space-Comm Expo 2026 — their new secure, resilient, multi-path communication solution for space-based assets.

"Angoka is building Stellar Mesh, a secure, resilient, multi-path communication solution for space-based assets. Leveraging existing commercial constellations, Stellar Mesh provides end-to-end route optimisation with drastically enhanced security posture to deliver the Internet for Space."

Full Product Portfolio

• Machine Identity Management (MIM) — Hardware root of trust for device identities. Claimed 50% OPEX reduction vs. conventional PKI.
• Zero Trust Management (ZTM) — Device Private Networks (DPNs), microsegmentation, adaptive trust boundary enforcement for cyber-physical systems.
• Zero Trust Authentication Protocol (ZAP) — Proprietary quantum-safe authentication protocol for UAVs and satellite communications.
• TARA — Threat Analysis & Risk Assessment tooling.
• Stellar Mesh — Secure multi-path communication for space-based assets (flagship at this conference).

Relevance to 4Secure — Partnership Opportunity

Why This Partnership Makes Sense

• Shared target markets — Both serve defence, space, and critical infrastructure. ANGOKA's Stellar Mesh directly overlaps with 4Secure's #1 strategic priority (space).
• Complementary security layers — ANGOKA authenticates the endpoints; TrustedFilter inspects and filters the data flowing between them. A combined solution would be significantly stronger than either alone.
• Quantum-safe positioning — ANGOKA's explicit quantum-safe credentials + TrustedFilter = a quantum-safe cross-domain solution. Compelling joint proposition for defence and space customers.
• Pantherun partnership — ANGOKA's new partnership with Pantherun (FPGA-based hardware) creates a pathway for TrustedFilter to be co-deployed on Pantherun/ANGOKA hardware platforms targeting defence and space.
• Active partnership appetite — ANGOKA explicitly invites collaboration and their recent Pantherun partnership demonstrates willingness to form technical and commercial partnerships.

Potential Partnership Models

• Technical integration — TrustedFilter as the content inspection layer within an ANGOKA-secured network segment (ZTM + TrustedFilter)
• Joint go-to-market — Co-sell to space/defence customers who need both machine identity security and cross-domain data filtering
• Joint bid — Respond together to UK defence or space procurement requiring both authentication and cross-domain data transfer
