Cyber Security Services: New Solutions Offering

In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, the security of critical systems, data, and infrastructure is no longer optional - it’s essential. Zener Engineering Services Ltd have built a reputation since 2003 as a trusted provider of high-quality engineering solutions across the Life Science industry. Today, ZES are proud to announce a significant expansion of our services with the launch of Cyber Security Services, designed to help our Clients and individuals proactively secure their digital assets and infrastructure.

Why Cyber Security, And Why Now?

The convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), especially in the Life Science industry, as in other sectors, has created a new frontier of cyber risks. From ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure to data breaches of enterprise systems, the threats are growing both in sophistication and frequency. At the time of writing this Blog, Blue chip companies seem to be regularly in the news, having suffered at the hands of hackers.

As a quality engineering services provider who operates in the the highly regulated sector of Life Sciences, ZES recognised the urgent need to offer more than traditional solutions. The addition of Cyber Security Services to the ZES portfolio is a direct response to our Clients’ and Individuals' evolving needs and the increasingly hostile threat environment we now operate in. Who doesn't know someone who has been scammed?

ZES understand the complexities of industrial systems and the importance of safety, uptime, and compliance. By combining our Engineering and IT expertise with cutting-edge Cyber Security capabilities, we’re offering a holistic approach to digital risk management-something many other consultancies cannot deliver.
