Adoption of Webroot Next-Generation Endpoint Security Solutions Propels Revenue in Second Fiscal QuarterBROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Webroot, the market leader in next-generation endpoint security and cloud-based collective threat intelligence, today announced strong momentum in its second fiscal quarter, which ended Dec. 31, 2015. Highlights from the second quarter include double-digit year-over-year revenue growth, substantial expansion of the company's business segment sales and growth of its network of strategic security alliances and channel partners. Double-digit Growth in New Business Continues "This was another good quarter of growth for us, across all markets and geographies," said Dick Williams, CEO at Webroot. "Acceptance of our next-generation endpoint security solutions for businesses and consumers is driving growth and profitability. With 87,000 Business customers, we are the proven next-generation cybersecurity choice for defending against modern malware. Our Webroot Threat Intelligence Platform is the gold standard for threat intelligence in the security industry and this has led to several new revenue-generating partnerships with leading security vendors." Strategic Security Alliances and Partnerships In addition to integrated solutions, Webroot continued strong growth in endpoint security, recently partnering with Laplink, a global market leader in PC migration. The two companies boosted their consumer offerings by bundling Webroot SecureAnywhere® Internet Security with PCmover Express to make cybersecurity and new PC setup easy—just in time for the holiday shopping season. Thought Leadership "Cloud-based endpoint security solutions are increasingly gaining ground to help manage growing mobile workforces, which need quick, secure access without increased complexity," said Sara Radicati, president and CEO of The Radicati Group. "As a trail blazer, Webroot offers highly innovative solutions well suited for small and medium sized organizations looking for solid, easy to manage protection." Webroot also released the results of its SMB Threat Brief, "Are Organizations Completely Ready to Stop Cyberattacks?" The report reveals that many small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) feel they lack the resources to protect themselves against malware attacks. In partnership with Wakefield Research, the study indicates just 37 percent of IT decision makers surveyed across the U.S., the U.K. and Australia believe their organizations are completely ready to manage IT security and protect against threats.
