CipherCloud Responds to Cloud Security Opportunities Created by Stricter Privacy Laws in the Dutch Market
Increased concerns for data residency and privacy have driven strong interest in cloud security measures, particularly in the financial services, healthcare, telecommunications and government verticals. This combination of factors has made Europe CipherCloud's fastest growing market. To service this customer rich region, the company continues to invest in its European footprint, beginning with the UK, then expanding into France and Germany and now into the Netherlands.
"We continue to invest resources to grow our presence in Europe," said Pravin Kothari, founder and CEO, CipherCloud. "Our approach is a country specific on-the-ground strategy to enable closer collaboration with prospects and customers from the very beginning of the relationship. At the same time, Jeroen Blaas, our General Manager for Europe, brings to bear more than a decade of enterprise technology experience in this region. With Jeroen's deep understanding of the market needs, we look forward to enabling customers to properly navigate the privacy, security and residency requirements for data in the cloud."
"European customers must comply with pan-European data legislation and country-specific privacy regulations," said Jeroen Blaas, General Manager, CipherCloud Europe. "Poised to become a regulation in 2016, the European Data Protection Act will assess tougher financial penalties on companies that suffer data breaches from insufficient security practices. Already, Dutch courts are aligning with strict interpretations for privacy as evidenced by the recent ruling that data retention by carriers violates users' right to privacy. We help organisations operating in the Netherlands overcome the privacy regulations and harness the power of cloud."
