The cloud-based Secure Web Gateway as a Service market represents an opportunity to serve businesses currently exposed to potentially crippling Internet security risks. Delivering the low cost and high utility of cloud-based applications, CYREN WebSecurity is ideally suited to address explosive growth in the Security as a Service (SecSaaS) markets that are fueled by BYOD trends, an increasingly mobile workforce, and the management and accessibility of information assets beyond the boundaries of traditionally secured network perimeters.

It leverages the company's GlobalView™ Cloud infrastructure, its patented Recurrent Pattern Detection™ technology, and the most robust transaction base in the industry to deliver a unique cloud-based Secure Web Gateway service. Easy to set up and manage, it provides an intuitive customer experience that delivers on the SaaS promise of doing more for less.
