Webroot, a leading security provider for the consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today announced a successful new partnership with Foursys, one of the UK's leading independent IT security specialists, to provide best-of-breed email and Web security.

The combination of Webroot’s expertise in providing Web security and email security services through its channel partners, and Foursys’ specialism in delivering security solutions, has already proven fruitful. Since becoming a partner, Foursys has licensed Webroot to protect thousands of end users from internet threats.

Foursys delivers security solutions across a wide variety of industry sectors, including Government, NHS, Corporate, Charities and Education. The reseller has over 15 years of experience, 800 customers and 2 million licensed users throughout the UK.

Paul Prior, Managing Director, Foursys, said, “We have positioned ourselves as one of the premier providers of security services in the UK, and our customers rely on us to recommend the most protective, and functional, solutions available to them. With the growing demand for security software-as-a-service (SaaS) amongst all businesses, large and small, we have to ensure that we are offering both Web and email security hosted solutions. With Webroot, we are confident that we have selected a leading provider to deliver SaaS security for our customers’ Web and email security needs.”

Ian Moyse, EMEA Channel Director, Webroot, commented, “Attracting such a reputable reseller such as Foursys, with its position of longevity as a specialist in security services, is yet another indication of Webroot’s commitment to providing commercially profitable partnerships within the channel that take full advantage of the growing security services sector of the market.”
