"Organisations are rapidly accelerating their digital transformations, while facing an ever-shifting cybersecurity landscape and increasing threats. This combination is driving huge demand for enterprise-level security from organisations that previously did not have the resources or means to procure them," said chief executive Danny Jenkins.

“We are excited to plant our stake in the ground and help more organisations across Europe to gain the breadth of security needed to operate in the digital economy,” he added.
