UBDS Group has been focused on strengthening its cyber security offerings for the past 18 months, it recently expanded its state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Manchester which delivers managed detection and response, threat prevention, and threat intelligence 24/7/365 to enhance its capabilities further and can now add 3B Data Security’s expertise into this capacity.
Under the terms of the deal, Cambridge-based 3B Data Security will retain its autonomy, including its brand identity. All 23 employees, including the management team, will stay with the company and join the 150-strong team already under the UBDS Group of companies.
Diptesh Patel, CEO of UBDS Group, said: “We aim to work with like-minded people who share our vision and ambition. We recognise these attributes in the team at 3B Data Security, and we want to support them with our group capabilities while enhancing our cyber offering to better serve clients across our wider business.”
Benn Morris, CEO of 3B Data Security said that although the cyber market is crowded, UBDS Group’s full-service security portfolio, combined with the expertise of both businesses, will only strengthen their service offering.
“We share a similar mindset and we both recognise the growth potential for our businesses while understanding that this partnership is primarily about enabling our teams to grow and develop, all while actively preventing security breaches and protecting our clients.”
