(TSX: CGY), a diverse products and services company providing innovative healthcare, communications, learning and cybersecurity solutions, announces they have been selected by CrowdStrike, a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, as its 2022 Canada Partner of the Year.

Small vulnerabilities — such as a single work computer operating unprotected against security threats like security bugs — when exploited, can cause massive data breaches, exposing confidential, sensitive, or protected information. iSecurity, a Calian company, delivers a complete lifecycle of digital protection services across the globe, providing a solution to preventing these increasing data breaches for their prestigious public and private sector clients. These services are further complemented by the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform and proprietary Threat Graph® which uses machine learning, behavioral analytics and proactive threat hunting to stop attacks.

“We are delighted to celebrate our partnership with iSecurity, a Calian company who has worked diligently together with CrowdStrike to provide innovative security solutions and services to customers to combat today’s advanced adversaries. My heartfelt congratulations to iSecurity, a Calian company, for being selected as our 2022 Canada Partner of the Year,” says Amanda Adams, Vice President, Americas Alliances at CrowdStrike.
