DUBLIN and MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 27,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ: CYRN) today announced
that European Wi-Fi Hotspot operator Anacapa Holdings Ltd. recently
deployed the CYREN WebSecurity platform across its European network
of over 2,300 Wi-Fi hotspots, located in 20 countries and
supporting 17 million authenticated users. Anacapa operates
hotspots on behalf of a diverse portfolio of site partners such as
McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, United Colors of Benetton,
Volkswagen, Mercure Hotels, Ibis Hotels and in addition, via a
partnership with a European Tier 1 ISP, a major retail bank.
Switching from a system focused on the enforcement of acceptable
browsing policy, Anacapa selected CYREN WebSecurity for its ability
to deliver this capability while also keeping hotspot users safe
against the very latest Internet threats, such as zero-hour
phishing and malware, malvertising, and watering hole
attacks. In addition, through its unique European Regional
security cloud hosted in Germany,
CYREN WebSecurity utilizes a Data Sovereignty capability to ensure
that sensitive customer data remains within the EU.
Joseph Brunoli, Managing Director
of Anacapa, explained the company's reasons for choosing CYREN:
"Our free-hotspot.com network is Europe's most established brand for free
public Wi-Fi that is fast, easy and above all safe for the user,"
he said. "However, as we continue to expand our business into the
Wi-Fi Managed Services sector we need to provide even more robust
network security for our private, corporate and professional
clients. We feel that CYREN's broad service palette and their
European-based support capability make them the best partner to
provide the right solutions for all our Wi-Fi deployments."
"As a European Wi-Fi network operator, Anacapa understands that
maintaining the security of their users' devices is critical," said
Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of
the Board at CYREN. "By selecting the cyber security platform
that offers the very highest levels of protection against zero-hour
Internet threats and sets the new standard for user data privacy,
Anacapa has defined a blueprint for effective Wi-Fi security that
illustrates real thought leadership. We are proud to welcome
Anacapa and their 17 million users to the CYREN global cloud
platform, which today already supports over 600 million
users. This decision serves as yet another validation of our
decision to invest in capabilities such as our Regional Data
Sovereignty, which sets us apart from the rest of the industry in
the area of user Data Privacy."
