 Nothreat™, a UK-based AI cybersecurity company, has joined equIP, the global accelerator programme run by CMS, one of the world’s largest law firms.

CMS equIP is designed to help high-growth, IP-rich startups scale globally by providing legal advice, strategic guidance, and exposure to key industry participants. The initiative delivers startups lower-cost legal guidance, IP health checks, corporate and employment law guidance, as well as investor and industry partner introductions in more than 30 jurisdictions. CMS describes equIP as a long-term partner for founders: helping to create a solid legal foundation, reduce risks in uncharted regulatory areas, and prepare companies for Series A financing and beyond. Since its formation in 2015, CMS equIP has served over 200 members worldwide, including numerous investment rounds and several successful exits.

“We’re proud to join the CMS equIP programme, which gives us access to world-class legal expertise and a powerful global network,” said Sergej Kostenko, CEO of Nothreat. “This partnership will help us protect and scale our intellectual property as we expand internationally — strengthening our mission to deliver AI-powered cybersecurity that meets the demands of a fast-changing threat landscape.”

The equIP membership complements Nothreat’s rapid international expansion. In recent months, the company joined the Grow London Global Cohort 7 and the Google for Startups Cloud Program, adding to its growing portfolio of strategic partnerships designed to accelerate global growth. Looking ahead, the Nothreat team plans to strengthen its presence across Europe, scale partnerships with enterprises in finance, healthcare, and energy, and expand its research collaborations in AI-driven threat prevention.

Nothreat’s solutions have been validated in some of the world’s most demanding environments through strategic collaborations. With Lenovo, Nothreat embeds its AIoT Defender firewall into ThinkEdge devices, delivering built-in protection at the edge. In partnership with Proxima Tech, the company powers one of Azerbaijan’s most advanced managed Security Operations Centers, providing large-scale threat monitoring for major enterprises.
