· About ZhenyYET

A cyber-defence boutique built around clarity, velocity and proof.

We help brands defend their digital footprint with the same rigour they apply to financial reporting — measurable, auditable and led by people who answer the phone.

· Our story

Born in Dubai, trusted from the GCC to global studios.

ZhenyYET was founded in 2021 as a specialist cyber-defence boutique headquartered in Business Bay, Dubai. Our founders had spent more than a decade defending media studios, fintechs and consumer brands across MENA, and were tired of two things in equal measure: vendors that delivered volume instead of outcomes, and consultants whose decks never survived contact with a real incident.

We started by rebuilding anti-piracy from first principles for a single regional studio. The brief was uncomfortable: stop the bleeding within the first seventy-two hours of every release, and prove it. We did, and the practice grew.

In 2022 we extended the model into offensive cybersecurity, vulnerability management and executive consulting. The same principles applied: verified findings, engineer-grade fixes, and reports that survive board scrutiny and a real-world incident at the same time.

Today the team operates from a 24/7 fusion centre in Dubai, supporting clients across the GCC, EU, APAC and the Americas. We have protected over 60 new releases, 1,000+ catalogue titles and 40,000+ digital assets; removed 500+ unauthorised impersonations; and tracked 100+ rogue distributors across more than 1,200 client brands.

· How we work

Four principles that decide every engagement.

Intelligence over noise

/ 01

Every alert is verified by a human analyst before it reaches you. Volume is cheap; signal is what changes outcomes.

Velocity with discipline

/ 02

We move fast because attackers do — but every action is documented, reproducible and defensible to legal, audit and the board.

Engineer-grade remediation

/ 03

Findings ship with working proofs and fixes written by people who have built and run the systems they audit.

Quiet professionalism

/ 04

Our most successful engagements are the ones the public never hears about. Discretion is part of the deliverable.
