What ZENDATA - Cybersecurity does

ZENDATA Cybersecurity is a Geneva-headquartered Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) operating across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia since 2011. The firm delivers 24/7 SOC monitoring, incident response, threat intelligence, penetration testing, and vCISO advisory to governments, financial institutions, and large enterprises, with a stated portfolio of 75+ managed services delivered through five offices (Geneva, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, Singapore) and a team of 75+ employees. Its terms of service are governed by UAE law.

The core technology stack is built around three proprietary platforms. ZEN360 orchestrates 35+ third-party security tools across IT, OT, and IoT/IoMT environments with L1/L2/L3 alert management; ZENRAD delivers adaptive SOC protection via Cyber Risk Score calculation and playbook orchestration; and DEFCON provides Attack Staging Detection that identifies adversary reconnaissance activity months before an attack. An Intelligence Fusion Center processes over 4 million Indicators of Compromise monthly, supported by tens of thousands of YARA and Sigma detection rules. The stack is certified to ISO 27001, CREST, and MSECB standards, and the firm maintains intelligence-sharing relationships with Interpol and Geneva Police.

ZENDATA's revenue model combines subscription-based managed security services (ZEN360, ZENRAD, vCISO) with project-based professional services (pentesting, audits, training, tabletop exercises). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; subscription billing cadences include monthly (vCISO) and annual (MSSP), with payments processed via Stripe UAE in AED. The go-to-market is event-driven and direct, anchored by thought leadership (blog, G7 Evian 2026 Cyber Risk Map), educational media (RTS TV show 'Ne Cliquez Pas'), and flagship government partnerships including The Shield Museum in the UAE. Notable engagements include threat intelligence support for a Swiss construction firm, a tabletop ransomware exercise for a major Swiss public entity, and attack staging prevention for a global Swiss bank.
