VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Managed Services Provider, VirtualArmour International Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE:VAI) (3V3:F) (OTCQB:VTLR) announced today it had finalized a three year, recurring revenue contract for the expansion of network and security managed services with an existing client in the retail services sector. The expanded contract has a total value of USD$650K over its term.
The average cost of a data breach in the United States rose for the fourth straight year, hitting $225 per compromised record--the highest it has been since 2006, when the Ponemon Institute began to publish research on the topic.
“For large organizations with potentially thousands of active locations to support, the risk of security breaches at “endpoint devices” (internet-capable computer devices) has become a key concern. Preventing issues relating to endpoint breaches requires not only the right technology solutions, but the right specialists in place, able to work seamlessly with internal teams,” said Kyle Duffy, VP of Customer Experience at VirtualArmour. “Our technical teams are able to analyze scenarios in which multitudes of users are accessing desktops, logging into email, corporate systems, browsing the internet and/or accessing apps and design and manage solutions able to protect organizational networks from all of the direct and indirect threats that these activities will attract.”
Due to the sensitivities inherent within its industry, VirtualArmour’s policy is not to disclose specific client details in press releases.
