Ergo, Ireland’s largest indigenous IT solutions provider, has today announced the launch of its new Cyber Resilience and Cyber Recovery Service offering to coincide with World Backup Day.
Ergo is the largest privately-owned IT services company in Ireland, headquartered in Dublin, with offices in Cork, Limerick and Belfast as well as the US, Romania and New Zealand.
Ergo’s offering is a robust end-to-end solution designed to safeguard organisations against cyber threats and ensure rapid recovery in the event of a cybersecurity incident.
The growth of Ireland's digital economy has created both significant opportunities and challenges for businesses across all sectors. Approximately 41 per cent of goods and services produced in Ireland are now transacted digitally, including both digitally ordered and digitally delivered products. As a result, cyber threats pose serious risks not only to individual businesses but also to the broader economy.

Cyber threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated, and ransomware attacks globally and in Ireland, are on the rise, with global security spending expected to grow by 12.2 per cent year-on-year in 2025. If an organisation’s backup solution is not immutable, it can be entirely compromised by cyber-attack, making an organisation not only vulnerable to losing business critical data but also negatively impacting its bottom line due to unplanned downtime, reputational damage and potential regulatory penalties.
Figures from Ireland’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) show more than 5,000 cyberattacks were reported by companies in Ireland in 2023 with an unknown quantity of unreported attacks. Regulatory pressure in the form of NIS2, DORA, CER, PART-IS, have also forced organisations across most sectors, to have cyber resilience policies and protections in place.
In today’s world, businesses must be more resilient and prepared for the potential risks and threats inherent with digital platforms. Ergo’s new offering, available in Ireland and Northern Ireland, leverages the latest technologies and best practices to provide an end-to-end approach to cyber resilience, from backup management and rigorous testing to 24/7 monitoring and incident response. In the event of an incident, Ergo’s Cyber Resilience and Cyber Recovery Service offering, ensures that businesses can recover efficiently and effectively.

Commenting on the launch, Lorne Chedzey, CIO at Ergo said: “With the increasing prevalence of cyber threats, it’s no longer a question of if, but when, a business will need to recover from an incident. We’ve seen an uptick in the number of attacks targeting organisations of all sizes, which show no signs of slowing down, and if we follow the trends, are only going to get worse.
“With scores of Irish organisations reporting significant instances of cyberattacks as reported by the NCSC each year, something needs to change.
“Our new Cyber Resilience and Cyber Recovery Service Offering is designed to provide peace of mind, ensuring our clients are prepared for whatever comes their way. World Backup Day is a timely reminder of the importance of both data protection and robust cyber resilience.”
