VirtualArmour Wins Prominent Wellness Brand Customer in Partnership with Alacrinet
CENTENNIAL, Colo., June 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VirtualArmour International Inc. (OTCQB:VTLR) (CSE:VAI) (3V3:F), a premier cybersecurity managed services provider, has received a three-year managed security services and hardware contract from a large retail wellness brand.
Valued at $250,000, the majority of the contract involves providing managed security services, including 24/7/365 alerting, management, maintenance and prevention.
VirtualArmour anticipates expanding the contract with additional managed services later this year, including managed firewall in the third quarter and managed cloud access security brokers (CASB) in the fourth.

According to Brian Bouchard, president and CEO of Alacrinet: “VirtualArmour enhances our ability to offer leading cybersecurity managed services, hardware and software to our broad range of clients. Our engagement by this prominent wellness brand company provides significant validation of the comprehensive cybersecurity benefits we can now offer, and we see great potential for these benefits to add value to many of our other clients.”
