Cyberfort, a leading Cyber security services and solutions provider, has acquired ZDL Group. The acquisition is part of Cyberfort’s ongoing ‘buy and build’ strategy as it looks to accelerate growth over the next three years to become one of the largest independent cyber security providers in the UK.

ZDL provides a comprehensive range of cybersecurity services to the UK market, including managed security services, penetration testing, ethical hacking, and bespoke cybersecurity training.

With an international, multi-sector customer base exceeding 120 clients and a team of over 40 highly skilled cybersecurity professionals, ZDL’s acquisition significantly expands Cyberfort’s reach, enhancing its ability to serve commercial customers both within and beyond the UK.

Glen Williams, CEO, Cyberfort, said: "This is an important step on our journey as we look to grow our footprint and scale in the Cyber Security market. 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 cyber security landscape. When we learned of the growth plans for Cyberfort, as part of its strategy of becoming one of the largest UK based cyber security service providers, we decided that the perfect partner for our business would be Cyberfort. 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."
