MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ:
CYRN) today announced it signed Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) as one of
its latest resellers. SLT will now offer the cloud-based CYREN
WebSecurity solution that provides advanced cybersecurity and
zero-hour threat protection.
As the national information and communications technology
provider and the leading broadband and backbone infrastructure
services provider in the country, Sri Lanka Telecom serves more
than six million end users and 10,000 organizations, including the
region's largest corporate and government entities as well as small
and medium-sized businesses.
CYREN WebSecurity will be offered through SLT's new "akaza"
cloud computing service. Managed by CYREN's security and operations
experts on a purpose-built cloud platform, CYREN WebSecurity
delivers best-of-breed protection without requiring akaza customers
to purchase hardware or acquire in-house security expertise.
Through a proven Security as a Service (SecaaS) model, CYREN
WebSecurity provides rapid identification of advanced cyber threats
in combination with leading malware and phishing protection for
devices and data regardless of type or location.
"Sri Lanka Telecom is pleased to partner with CYREN to offer our
customers proven security technology alongside our cloud computing
service," said Lalith de Silva,
Group CEO at SLT. "We see CYREN WebSecurity as a robust solution to
an ever-mounting security hurdle as organizations look to fend off
threats associated with today's increasingly mobile workforce and
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies. It's yet another step toward
providing SLT customers with ongoing peace of mind as well as
increased cost efficiencies."
"CYREN recognizes that security and performance are mission
critical to an organization such as SLT," said Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of the Board
at CYREN. "CYREN WebSecurity provides premier cloud-based
protection through its trusted CYREN GlobalView Cloud
infrastructure that is relied upon by many of the largest companies
around the globe. We are honored to have SLT as a member of our
worldwide channel network."
