Silicom Expands Business with Strategic Cyber Security CustomerSilicom Ltd. (News - Alert) (NASDAQ:SILC) today announced that the strategic cyber security customer whose engagement with Silicom was announced in March 2015 has awarded the Company an additional new Design Win for an encryption product. The new Design Win is for an advanced Silicom Intel (News - Alert)-based Encryption Adapter that the customer will use to support its transition from software-based encryption to hardware-based off-loaded encryption acceleration. In parallel, the customer continues to increase its level of interest in additional Silicom products, as demonstrated by the evaluation processes that it is currently carrying out for various server adapters, high-end and low-end platforms, FPGA-based smart cards and more. "When we initiated our relationship with this strategic client, we recognized its significant expansion potential, and now, it is starting to happen," commented Mr. Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President and CEO. "The customer uses a variety of appliances with different types of cards, many of which have a clear need for the Silicom flexibility and performance edge. Given how pleased they have been with our products and relationship over the past 18 months - as demonstrated by this new win - and the multiple product evaluations underway, we believe that the customer is on track to becoming a several-illion-dollar account over time." ##
