LONDON, UK: AhnLab, a leader in advanced internet security protection for businesses, today announced ambitious business growth targets in the EMEA region after the company had one of its most successful years’ to-date, seeing a surge in revenues and business from globally recognised companies.
AhnLab specialises in integrated internet security solutions for consumers and businesses, ranging in size from SMBs to enterprise organisations. The company invests heavily in Research and Development and has a very large forensics team, who are well known in the industry for their fast and accurate analysis of APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats). The company’s products have been identified as being faster, producing fewer false positives and having a lower TCO than its main competitor FireEye in a number of third party tests.
Simon Edwards, EMEA territory manager at AhnLab, said, “AhnLab brings a new level of technology to the art of attack mitigation, using state of the art hardware capable of speeds beyond 10GB. The AhnLab Malware Defense System (MDS) delivers a solution, which uses multiple layers of mitigation to stop known and unknown malware, APTs and other more traditional attacks. AhnLab’s solution utilises sophisticated appliances combined with Cloud based intelligence to deliver industry-leading performance. Remediation is critical and MDS provides this, as well.”
As part of the EMEA development, AhnLab is opening their European headquarters in the UK and they have recruited Simon Edwards as territory manager in the region. Edwards brings over 14 years’ experience working in the IT security industry to the role, having previously worked at a number of well-known organisations including HMRC, Top Layer, ISS UK and Nitro Security.
“By establishing EMEA headquarters we are going to be able to provide a better service to our customers within the region. We see Europe as one of our biggest areas for growth over the next few years and we have set ourselves ambitious business targets. I am pleased to be brought on to the AhnLab team”, stated Edwards. “The company offers customers unrivalled products, which have already attracted the attention of some of the major industry players. As today’s cyber criminals continue to develop highly sophisticated pieces of advanced malware, it is imperative that organisations deploy a suitable security solution, which can cope with these threats. In my opinion, AhnLab’s solution is the best in the business.”
