About
In 2008, our founders were North Sea rope access inspection engineers who witnessed firsthand the risks and limitations of traditional industrial inspections. Working on oil platforms, they observed colleagues scaling flare stacks and confined towers to gather critical asset data - dangerous work that often put lives at risk. From this challenging environment emerged a radical question: what if a drone could do this instead? That insight sparked the creation of Cyberhawk, the first company in the world to use unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for live industrial inspections. Today, Cyberhawk has grown into a global leader in visual asset management and aerial intelligence, completing more than 500,000 drone inspections across 40+ countries. The company combines world-class pilots, advanced drone technology, and its proprietary iHawk aerial data management platform to deliver safe, actionable insights for asset-intensive industries. From oil and gas structures to power grids, renewables, and major capital projects, Cyberhawk's solutions reduce downtime, enhance safety, and enable smarter decision-making. With over 35 world-firsts and partnerships with major energy companies worldwide, Cyberhawk continues to pioneer the future of industrial inspection - proving that safety, precision, and operational efficiency truly go hand-in-hand.
