Toronto, Ontario, and New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 2, 2023) - Sekur Private Data Ltd. (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FSE: GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company"), a leading Swiss hosted secure and private communications platform, is pleased to announce that it has signed a distribution agreement for the Kingdom of Morocco, for its Sekur suite of privacy communications solutions, including the upcoming Sekur Enterprise solutions.
The Company has signed a Reseller Agreement with Digital Smart Solution Sarl ("DSS"), a Moroccan IT services consulting company based in Casablanca, Kingdom of Morocco. DSS plans to focus on telecom operators and the banking industry to distribute, in particular, the SekurMessenger solution for enterprises. According to DSS, currently, there is no available reliable private and secure messaging solution in the Moroccan market, and SekurMessenger offers a secure and private solution for SMEs, enterprises and the government sector. DSS will approach the 1st and 3rd third largest Telecom operators in Morocco, as well as several large banking groups and some government organizations, as cyberattacks on mobile phones and Business Email Compromise ("BEC") attacks have grown exponentially in that in the region. Telecoms targeted have a combined mobile subscriber base of well over 20 million users, with businesses representing over 15% of the subscriber base.
Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, said: "We excited to expand into the Kingdom of Morocco as many international companies have their Africa headquarters in Morocco. According to market research, approximately 90% of African businesses are operating without cybersecurity protocols in place, making them vulnerable to cyber threats, such as hacking, phishing, and malware attacks. The economic consequences of digital insecurity are already substantial. This is where Sekur comes in, to ensure private and secure communications and prevent Business Email Compromise ("BEC") attacks with our SekurSend feature on SekurMail, and to offer a private and secure alternative to data mined messaging applications, with our SekurMessenger and our Chat by Invite unique privacy function. We will also offer our SekurVPN as there is a growing market demand for VPNs. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech cloud platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to offering true data privacy to all Moroccan businesses and government organizations, and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners, malicious hackers and rogue agents of foreign powers."
On April 7th 2023, the Company launched its privacy VPN solution called SekurVPN available through https://www.sekur.com. The Company has seen great success for SekurVPN for consumers, and plans to market to the SMB and enterprise in Q4, targeting the 30 million SMBs in the USA, through several digital and email marketing campaigns.
SekurVPN is meant for privacy enthusiasts and users wanting to mask their IP address and protect their Internet activities from hackers, rogue agents and industrial spies. An example would be users going to their e-banking or shopping online, using their emails, using messaging applications and wanting to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking their location and signal. The service guarantees that it does not use Big Tech or Hyperscalers for its functioning or hosting, it guarantees that there are no third party bundles sold with it, so no data is leaked or sold to third parties, it guarantees no traffic pulling or monitoring, and no phone number required to register to the service. Using a private VPN such as SekurVPN can reduce greatly the risk of BEC attacks for C-Level enterprise employees.
