VirtualArmour Secures Multi-year Managed Security Services Contract with International US Food Distributor


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Managed Services Provider, VirtualArmour International Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE:VAI) (Frankfurt:3V3) announced today that is has secured a new Managed Security Services contract with a national US-based food distributor. The multi-year contract includes the combined provision of hardware, software and ongoing network monitoring.

“Like many businesses that are now moving towards outsourcing their security services, this latest client had a unique structure and required a very specific combination of services in order to ensure their systems remained protected both now and as they scale into the future. Due to the nature of VirtualArmour’s model, we were able to tailor a solution that integrates state-of-the-art technology and provides ongoing specialist oversight which supports internal staff and frees up time to focus on other things,” said Russ Armbrust, VP of Sales at VirtualArmour. “With every high profile breach, such as the recent one suffered by Equifax, business owners are becoming increasingly aware of not only the risks but the reputational and financial costs that can be incurred when systems are not adequately protected.”

Cyber threats are growing and damaging attacks are being experienced not only by large, well-established businesses but also by those considered early-stage startups. Subsequently, an ever-increasing number of business are seeing the value of proactively enlisting the services of outside specialists who can mitigate risks through the creation, implementation and management of robust and secure systems.
