Energy, water and utility operators depend on operational technology that was built for reliability rather than today's threat landscape. A successful attack can interrupt services that whole communities rely on, which makes the sector a long-standing target for nation-state and criminal groups.
We help you understand exposure across IT and OT, test safely around live operations, and prepare for the reporting and resilience obligations that come with critical infrastructure.

Airports, airlines, rail, shipping and logistics platforms run on tightly connected systems where an outage quickly becomes a public disruption. Booking and passenger data, connected vehicles and third-party platforms all widen the attack surface.
We help transport organisations find weaknesses before attackers do, monitor for intrusions around the clock and plan for recovery when time matters most.

Banks, insurers, payment firms and wealth managers hold exactly what attackers want: money, data and trust. Fraud, account takeover and attacks through third-party providers sit alongside rising regulatory expectations for operational resilience.
We support financial entities with threat-led testing, intelligence on the groups targeting the sector, and practical help to evidence resilience under DORA.

Central government, local authorities and public bodies deliver services that citizens cannot do without, often on a mix of legacy and modern systems. Ransomware, hostile states and new legislation all raise the stakes for public sector security teams.
Cybergen services are available through G-Cloud 15, and we can also contract directly. We help public sector organisations prepare for the proposed ransomware payment ban, strengthen recovery and test the systems citizens rely on.

Hospitals, care providers, pharmaceutical firms and research organisations hold some of the most sensitive data there is, and downtime can affect patient care directly. Ransomware, supplier compromise and espionage against research all target the sector.
We help healthcare and life sciences organisations protect patient data and intellectual property, test clinical and corporate systems, and build the resilience to keep services running.

Telecoms providers carry the traffic every other sector depends on, which makes their networks a high-value target for disruption and espionage. 5G, virtualised infrastructure and large customer bases bring their own security challenges.
We help telecoms organisations test network and customer-facing systems, track the threat actors targeting the sector, and maintain detection across complex environments.

Law firms, accountants and consultancies hold confidential client information and handle significant transactions, making them a favoured target for extortion groups and payment diversion fraud.
We help professional services firms protect client data, reduce the risk of social engineering, and meet the assurance requirements clients and schemes such as Cyber Essentials expect.

Manufacturers and automotive firms increasingly connect factory systems to corporate networks and suppliers. When ransomware reaches production, the cost of downtime can be severe, as recent incidents in the UK automotive sector have shown.
We help manufacturers secure the link between IT and OT, test plant systems safely, and plan for recovery so production can restart quickly.

Retailers, online stores, hotels and travel businesses process large volumes of payments and customer data, and an outage at peak trading can be costly. Credential stuffing, payment skimming and attacks on supporting suppliers are common.
We help retail and hospitality businesses secure customer accounts and payments, test their websites and apps, and respond quickly when something goes wrong.
