Nottingham Council Success Story

Protecting Local Government with Expert Penetration Testing

“We needed to find a way to meet very tight budget constraints. Of the suppliers we spoke to, only CyberLab demonstrated what we felt was a genuine desire to engage with us to reach a workable solution for both parties. I’d recommend CyberLab not just for their expertise in the whole cyber security area, but for their personalised and professional approach.”

– Mark Smith, Server Support Manager, Nottingham City Council
