EMEA and APJ expansion accelerates
Skybox Security’s accelerated global expansion throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), as well as the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) regions, comes on the heels of high-profile cyberattacks that put the spotlight on why a data-driven, risk-based approach to Vulnerability Management is mission-critical. Skybox Security is experiencing tremendous demand and sustainable growth in EMEA, with deal sizes increasing 33% and average annual contract value increasing 64% over the first half of 2021.
“There are two critical questions that every CISO must be able to answer to their board: Can you prevent a ransomware attack? And, can your company recover quickly?” commented Fred Saint-Joigny, vice president of EMEA, Skybox Security. “The speed of digital transformation is dramatic. To answer those questions with confidence, leaders need full visibility and understanding of their attack surface and insights that highlight the right exposures to take action on – which is only possible through a multi-dimensional network model.”
Skybox Security will continue making significant investments into expanding its EMEA and APJ operations. The company has cemented itself as the Security Posture Management partner of choice for solution providers worldwide. Over the first six months of 2021, Skybox grew channel sales across North America, EMEA, and APJ by 35%.
“With Skybox Security, CISOs can confidently prove they closed the most dangerous exposed vulnerabilities, ultimately preventing cyberattacks from damaging the business. Skybox models each customers’ unique threat landscape to understand how they could get breached,” said Shantanu Srivastava, vice president of sales for APJ, Skybox Security. “The best breach is one that never happens. Our preventative approach exponentially decreases cyber risk through drastically reducing the enterprise attack surface.”
