Weber Shandwick & ZENDATA Partner for EMEA Cyber Crisis Solution

Weber Shandwick, a globally recognized communications leader, has forged a strategic alliance with ZENDATA Cybersecurity to launch a unified cyber crisis and resilience service under the Weber Advisory umbrella. This collaboration merges deep cybersecurity intelligence with advanced crisis communications expertise to help organizations navigate the increasing complexity of cyber threats with clarity and confidence.

Meeting Executive Demand for Unified Cyber Resilience

This initiative responds to a growing need among executive leaders—including board members, CEOs, and communication strategists—for an integrated approach to cyber preparedness. Today’s digital crises require more than just technical fixes; they demand reputational safeguarding and precise messaging. The Weber Shandwick–ZENDATA partnership is designed to meet that need holistically. Operations will begin in key cities, London, Geneva, and Dubai, serving as launch pads for wider engagement across Europe, the Middle East, and global markets.

“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.”

Technical Depth Meets Strategic Communication

ZENDATA Cybersecurity contributes specialized capabilities to this joint offering, from advanced threat detection and dark web surveillance to immediate response strategies. These services will be directly woven into Weber Advisory’s trusted frameworks for managing reputational crises. The integration ensures that clients are equipped with both technological defense and strategic narrative control during high-stakes incidents.

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.”

Simulation, Response and Recovery - All in One Platform

At the heart of this partnership lies a comprehensive crisis preparedness suite. Clients will gain access to collaborative simulation exercises, forward-looking scenario planning, and coordinated response and recovery operations in real time. This offering is strengthened by the recent introduction of RADIUS, Weber Shandwick’s AI-driven crisis and issues platform. Now bolstered by ZENDATA’s intelligence infrastructure, RADIUS offers clients a more dynamic and responsive solution to digital threats.
