The multi-year contracts include the implementation of new security platforms and ongoing Managed Security Services and combined, have total contract values in excess of US$1 Million.
VirtualArmour secured the contracts as a result of its growing reputation as a leading service provider to the healthcare sector able to develop customized and scalable solutions that combine best in breed technology and specialist oversight.
“According to the lastest research, hacking incidents against medical facilities in 2017 are on pace to outnumber events in 2016.” said Andrew Douthwaite, VP of Managed Services at VirtualArmour. “With the security of ultra-sensitive data at stake, any successful breach can lead, not only to significant reputational damage but a loss of patient trust which can be impossible to fully recover from. We take these factors into consideration every single time we propose a solution for our clients.”
Greenfield opportunities like these continue to increase with an increasing number of businesses seeking third-party support to protect their operations versus building out internal teams which has become increasingly difficult to do due to competition for specialist talent.
