Were looking forward to working with Zen to bring our security solutions to more businesses in the UK market. It will allow organizations to not only improve their cyber resilience through better detection and response but also allow them to assess the effectiveness and maturity of these measures something which is essential in the current threat environment.

Dave Barber, Portfolio Management Director at Zen Internet, comments: With the number of cyberattacks rising sharply, businesses are feeling the pressure to ensure their security measures are up to scratch, whilst simultaneously accelerating their digital transformation journey post-covid.
