This is clear evidence that our award winning technology is rooted in the hearts and minds of security concious orgnizations across Europe." Commented Tony Bolland, CEO of Avecto. "The opening of our DACH Headquarters was the next logical step in meeting this increased demand. As the threat landscape changes in form, function and sophistication, organizations are demanding additional capabilities from their IT security, with lower costs, improved security and compliance being three key drivers. We see this new expansion as an opportunity to further support both our customers and partners in the region such as Head Technology, HP Enterprise Security Services and McAfee."
