Gaining Momentum

Cerberus Security Laboratories is a verified UK-based security consultancy specializing in IoT and RISC-V security, acquired by Codasip in 2022. However, the specific project name 'WhisperWing' yields no verifiable public footprint, and the submission contains hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and confusing metrics ('marketcap 2500000'). While the parent company demonstrated real-world utility and achieved an exit, the submitted project appears to be either an internal tool or mislabeled. The company is currently in liquidation (winding up) as of Feb 2026, suggesting the end of its independent lifecycle.
