A Palatine-backed firm looking to become the UK’s largest independent cybersecurity service provider within the next three years has acquired managed security services provider ZDL Group.
Berkshire-based Cyberfort, which is one of the UK’s leading providers of managed IT services to mid-market UK companies, will significantly expand its reach with the acquisition which will enhance its ability to serve commercial customers within and beyond the UK.
London-based ZDL Group will bring an international, multi-sector customer base of more than 120 clients and a team of over 40 skilled cybersecurity professionals to Cyberfort.
“This is an important step on our journey as we look to grow our footprint and scale in the cyber security market,” said Glen Williams, CEO of Cyberfort.
“ZDL is a great fit for Cyberfort as it has a very strong pedigree for delivering agile, responsive security services including penetration testing, information security reviews and supply chain risk management through its Vendoor platform.
“It also has an impressive customer base. ZDL will integrate very easily with our existing business.
“This acquisition will perfectly position Cyberfort to accelerate its market share growth in the UK and internationally, through organic growth and further strategic acquisitions. We’re very excited by the opportunities ahead.”
Kevin Roberts, managing director at ZDL Group, added: “Joining Cyberfort means ZDL customers will have access to a wider range of cyber security services to keep their businesses secure, resilient and compliant in an ever changing and complex cybersecurity landscape.
“We’re very pleased that Cyberfort will continue to provide the highest levels of innovation and service to all of our valued customers and stakeholders.”
