VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Managed Services Provider, VirtualArmour
International Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE:VAI) (Frankfurt:3V3) announced today that it had finalized a multi-year
contract with a large U.S. utility provider. The contract includes the design and provisioning of updated network infrastructure –
including hardware and software – specialist implementation and ongoing Managed Services.
VirtualArmour secured the contract as it was felt to have industry-leading expertise in the client’s specific areas of security
concern. It was also deemed able to build out the type of tailored solution that would efficiently transition the customer’s
current IT infrastructure to a more scalable, efficient and robust platform.
“With increasing hacker activity within the sector, Utilities have been forced to significantly increase focus on securing their
infrastructure,” said Andrew Douthwaite, VP of Managed Services at VirtualArmour. “The cybersecurity risks faced by organizations
in this field are exponentially higher than those in many other industries. This is due, for the most part, to the sheer volume of
individual connections to their networks. In our experience, there does still remain a large number of Utility providers that
aren’t aware of the scale of the threat and the necessary patches and protections they require to properly secure their
infrastructure. Ensuring the flow of critical information between industry, Government, and Utilities is still a challenge, but
remains essential for ensuring robust security practices are adhered to across the board.”
