Sekur Enterprise to protect senior employees and government officials against Business Email Compromise ("BEC"
attacks
Toronto, Ontario and New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 12, 2023) - Sekur Private Data Ltd. (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FSE: GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company" , a leading Swiss hosted secure and private communications platform, is pleased to announce that it is on track to launch its Sekur Enterprise suite of privacy communications solutions starting mid-January 2024. Several of Sekur's customers are waiting for Sekur Enterprise in Latin America, the USA and the Middle East Gulf countries.
Several existing distributors are ready to launch Sekur Enterprise. In Latin America, America Movil's Telcel is ready to launch SekurMessenger for Enterprise as it has several financial institutions and other large enterprises ready to adopt the solution right away, as WhatsApp has recently been banned by most financial and government institutions. SekurMessenger for Enterprise has several features to control communications between employees and maintain tight control of information flow for compliance purposes, security and privacy. The innovative SekurRelay solution is also of interest for all enterprise customers in the region and will be proposed in Q1 2024 to America Movil and other telecom operators in other global regions, in parallel to SekurMessenger for Enterprise. Sekur already sells SekurMessenger to Telcel, the leading mobile operator in Mexico, a division of America Movil, and the enterprise version is expected to replace the business solution in February 2024. Sekur has recently signed several distribution agreements in Jordan and Qatar and is in talks with another distributor in the United Arab Emirates. Its distributors are already discussing with the leading telecom operators the benefits of Sekur Enterprise and Sekur Business solutions for their SMB and Enterprise customers.
Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, said: "We are excited to launch our anticipated Sekur Enterprise solutions globally. The first phase has already been launched with our SekurRelay feature for all SekurMail Enterprise accounts, the second phase will launch mid-January with expanded features for SekurMessenger, and the last phases will be launched by mid-March with the rest of the privacy and security features our enterprise clients are expecting. Sekur Enterprise is important, as it answers the demands of our existing clients and will propel the company to a new level by being able to offer our solutions to all enterprise level clients worldwide. Additionally, it will increase the average revenue per user ("ARPU" by up to 280% to a bundled amount value of US$47/month from a bundled value of US$17/month. Additional features such as SekurVoice and video solutions will increase ARPU even more. We are happy to be able to provide these new enterprise solutions to all our existing and new customers worldwide, as we can offer the only Swiss-hosted, proprietary, private and secure communications platform that does not rely on big tech infrastructure, open-source coding or data mining, therefore reducing exponentially the risk of cyber penetration. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and as we are not connected to any Big Tech platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications, without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland."
Sekur recently announced the launch of its SekurRelay Enterprise Email Solution, part of its Sekur Enterprise solution, allowing corporate executives and management to "split" their company email domain in two, benefiting from SekurMail's SekurSend/SekurReply feature and other Swiss-hosted privacy and security solutions SekurMail offers, without having to migrate the entire company employees, eliminating a huge roadblock to mass adoption of SekurMail by large corporations and government agencies.
SekurRelay lets a company employee easily migrate their existing business email to Sekur's privacy and security email platform, and "split" from the company's existing email hosting provider seamlessly, while maintaining the same business email domain as the rest of the employees. This eliminates the need for enterprise IT departments to migrate their entire staff to Sekur, to have the same domain email address. SekurRelay lets company staff, as an example, use their existing provider and email @company.com, while having their executives or managers use SekurMail, keeping their existing email address @company.com. This "Inbound Relay" solves a large problem, as many larger enterprises have been hesitant to migrate thousands of employee emails due to the cumbersome and costly nature of doing so. With SekurRelay, companies of all sizes can protect C-level and management level emails from Business Email Compromise ("BEC" attacks, while letting the rest of the employees stay in their existing email hosting providers. At the same time, all employee emails will be "filtered" through SekurRelay, and benefit from Sekur's malware detection and spam filter, giving an extra advantage for all employees, whether they use SekurRelay or not, while only SekurRelay accounts holders will be hosted and have their emails delivered by Sekur.
Enterprises and some government upper-level employees and executives have been looking for a way to use Sekur's privacy and security tools without having to migrate the entire company to Sekur's email platform, due to costs associated with migration of thousands of emails. The goal is to get away from the main email platform providers that are being compromised with BEC attacks that are targeting upper management and C-level executives. Sekur is now able to eliminate these roadblocks and offer true protection against data mining, email phishing and BEC attacks to anyone subscribing to a business or enterprise email account, without having to migrate the entire company.
SekurRelay comes automatically with all Sekur Enterprise email accounts at a price of US$25/month or US$275/year with a minimum of 20 users per Enterprise account, with each SekurMail account offered with 250GB of redundant storage, up from 100GB of storage for SMB users. SekurMail also offers in all its email accounts a unique SekurSend/SekurReply feature, allowing Sekur users to send emails to any non Sekur users in full privacy and security, with unlimited attachments capability, protecting the email from BEC attacks. In 2021 alone there were 20,000 BEC attacks reported to the FBI in the USA.
This new solution will make sales to businesses of larger sizes, enterprises and government organizations easier, as it does not disrupt their existing IT infrastructure and planning and has no migration cost associated with it.
Sekur also believes that by adding its Swiss-hosted SekurVPN solution to its other solutions, it increases internet connection encryption of users and protects their identity from malicious hackers. Since the Company has added SekurVPN and customized "à la carte" bundles for consumers and businesses, approximately 50% of all customers have been buying bundles with approximately 60% of customers purchasing SekurVPN in the bundle or on its own.
On April 7, 2023, the Company launched SekurVPN, its privacy VPN solution available through Sekur.com, and began commercial sales of its highly anticipated privacy and security VPN solution. The solution is also offered for sale in USD, CAD, NZD, AUD, SGD, CHF, EUR and GPB. Sekur plans to do a full scale launch before year-end 2023 with several videos on social media promoting SekurVPN to select targeted audiences in the U.S. Ghiai discusses the advantages of having a privacy VPN, and other preventive measures to minimize cyberattacks for consumers and businesses, on Sekur Hack of the Week Episode, a nationwide TV show broadcast on Bloomberg TV, Fox Business TV and on streaming media.
SekurVPN is especially meant for privacy enthusiasts and users wanting to protect their identity from hackers. An example would be users going to their e-banking or shopping online, using their emails, using messaging applications and wanting to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking their IP location and signal. The service guarantees not to use Big Tech or hyperscalers for its functioning or hosting, and it guarantees that there are no third party bundles sold with it so no data is leaked or sold to third parties. It guarantees no traffic pulling or monitoring and no phone number is required to register to the service.
According to a Forbes article, 66% of surveyed internet users within the U.S. use a VPN to help protect personal data, 80% use a VPN for increased security and 33% use a VPN to mask their internet activity. More statistics can be found on this VPN Statistics And Trends In 2023 article.
