NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Ericom Software, a leader in secure web and application access solutions, today announced its achievement of major 2019 milestones, including strong year-over-year growth in its security solutions and the addition of a large number of clients across the financial services, government, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. The company also announced that several key cloud security veterans have joined its executive team to help Ericom continue scaling its global business.

New Customers and Partners

The company specifically highlighted record growth in sales of Ericom Shield, its Zero Trust Browser Isolation solution for secure web access. The increase in demand for remote browser isolation solutions is recognized by Gartner in its most recent Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways report. Gartner “sees growing demand for remote browser isolation (RBI) technology, which renders the image of a website in the cloud and sends an image to a user’s browser (cloud-averse customers can also implement RBI technology in their own data centers). Mostly, customers are implementing RBI as a feature of secure web gateways (SWGs), so that uncategorized or risky websites can be rendered via the RBI technology. However, some highly security-conscious organizations have completely replaced their SWGs with RBI technology.”* Ericom Shield’s RBI capabilities are being used by enterprises to protect their users from web and e-mail delivered malware.

Whether users browse to a malicious site on their own or reach one by clicking a URL embedded in a phishing email, Ericom Shield keeps them secure since no web content is ever executed on the user device. Ericom Shield, winner of two InfoSec Security 2019 Industry Awards, is delivered as either a cloud service or on-premises software, and protects businesses from web-based malware, e-mail threats, and online credential theft.

Propelled by robust market demand for its cloud services and software, Ericom has partnered with some of the largest cybersecurity providers in the world, announcing partnerships this year with Checkpoint, Fortinet, McAfee, and others, to integrate its RBI solution with their web gateways and next generation firewall solutions. To bring these solutions to market, Ericom has aggressively developed its distribution network, partnering with new and existing resellers to promote its security portfolio.

Commenting on his company’s distribution partnership with Ericom in Japan, Tetsuya Tabata, Corporate Officer at K.K. Ashisuto said, “Ericom is a trusted provider of secure web browsing solutions in the rapidly growing web security market in Japan. Our strategic partnership with them allows us to deliver our customers an innovative browser isolation solution that eliminates the possibility of malware reaching their employee’s devices via compromised or malicious websites.”

Ericom’s secure application access solutions, which connect users to corporate applications and resources, are also seeing strong demand, driven by enterprise trends such as flexible employee remote working arrangements and rapid movement of applications from traditional data centers to cloud environments. Discussing Ericom’s secure application access solutions, Ed Blackman, CTO of at Reckon Ltd., an Australian-based provider of financial business software and services, stated, “Ericom provides a great solution that gives our users secure access to our cloud application whenever they need it. They delivered the immediate value our organization expected.”

Ericom has brought a number of key executives into the company since David Canellos was announced as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in January 2019.
