The Bridgend-headquartered IT specialist reported 21 per cent turnover growth and a 28 per cent rise in profitability in its latest financial results and is forecasting close-on 2 per cent further growth over the coming year, driven by rising demand for advanced cyber defence and the rollout of its enhanced end-to-end managed services.
CSG director Matthew Bater, the potential for malicious influences to impact business systems is a major concern in organisational strategic planning with most companies now prioritising effective digital defences.
“Every day we hear of another business struggling to cope with ransomware and other forms of cyberattack,” he said. “These can have huge implications for organisations both in terms of business interruption and cost.”
“We have been very focused on being able to offer secure IT solutions and outstanding levels of cybersecurity, particularly through Sophos Managed Detection and Response [MDR], to provide IT resilience and peace of mind.”
Greg Cooper, senior account manager at Sophos, said: “It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the whole CSG team. It underscores their commitment to excellence in the cybersecurity domain and reinforces their reputation as a trusted leader in the field.
“It has been a genuine pleasure collaborating with them, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth and influence in the cybersecurity industry.”
