Weber Shandwick has entered into a strategic partnership with ZENDATA Cybersecurity, a global cybersecurity firm, with an aim to deliver a fully integrated cyber crisis and resilience offering under Weber Advisory. The Weber Shandwick�ZENDATA Cybersecurity alliance will initially launch from regional hubs in London, Geneva and Dubai, with a view to serving clients across Europe, the Middle East and beyond.

ZENDATA Cybersecurity brings deep-expertise cybersecurity services to the partnership, including proactive threat hunting, dark web monitoring, and rapid incident response. These technical capabilities will be integrated with Weber Advisory�s crisis communications frameworks and strategic counsel.

�This partnership is a powerful extension of Weber Advisory and a direct response to client needs,� said Alphonse Daudre-Vignier, Executive Vice President, Corporate, Weber Shandwick. �Managing a cyber crisis has long required more than a technical fix; it�s a test of leadership, trust and stakeholder confidence. By combining our strengths with ZENDATA Cybersecurity, we�re giving clients the integrated capabilities they need to anticipate, manage and recover from digital threats with greater agility and authority.�

Steven Meyer and Isabelle Meyer, Co-CEOs of ZENDATA Cybersecurity, have noted a widespread and dangerous trend: "Companies consistently overestimate their readiness to face modern cyber threats. With this partnership, we�re redefining what preparedness looks like. By fusing our cybersecurity expertise with Weber Shandwick�s crisis communications leadership, we�re helping organisations not just react, but respond with resilience and control.�

The offering will include joint cyber crisis simulations, scenario planning, real-time incident response and recovery support. The integrated solution builds on Weber Shandwick�s recent launch of RADIUS.
