Commenting on the company’s growth in the region, Matthew Knutsen, VP Americas said, "We have made significant strides forward in Canada with high demand from organizations following the cyber security guidelines of the Canadian Communications Security Establishment (CSE) with its recommendations of least privilege and whitelisting. We have secured some landmark deals and a huge amount of interest in our software as businesses seek to improve security and achieve compliance. We are anticipating continued high growth rates from the region well into the next few years."
