VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Premier Managed Services Provider, VirtualArmour International Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE:VAI) (Frankfurt:3V3), announced today a finalized contract with a global architectural design and engineering firm which services the Energy sector. Under the terms of the contract, VirtualArmour will design, build and implement new security infrastructure to support the client’s sustained growth. This will involve the provision of hardware as well as professional services.
As a result of technology playing an increasingly significant role within energy sector operations across the board, it is an industry that has become a prime target for cyber attacks. These are being directed not only towards those directly in energy production and distribution but also towards industry partners that may not employ the same robust security protocols required to remain secure.
“What makes cyber threats especially dangerous within any industry, but particularly within energy, is that they can go undetected until real damage has taken place, from stolen data to power outages, destruction of physical assets and major financial loss,” said Chad Schamberger, VP of Engineering Services at VirtualArmour.
Nick Dinsmoor, VP Strategy at VirtualArmour added, “Through working with some of the largest organizations in the field, VirtualArmour has developed significant industry expertise in this area and is able to design, implement and manage tailored and robust solutions which deliver extremely high levels of protection. We’re pleased to be further widening our footprint in the energy sector and believe it will be one we see increasing business from in both the short and long term.”
