Webroot Announces Record Fiscal Year 2016BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Webroot, the market leader in next-generation endpoint security and cloud-based collective threat intelligence, today announced double-digit year-over-year bookings growth for both the quarter and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. The company's business segment bookings grew at 36 percent for the year, and the consumer segment at 11 percent. Rapid adoption of Webroot cybersecurity solutions by managed service providers (MSPs), an expanding network of strategic partners integrating Webroot threat intelligence, and growing market share in the consumer segment drove record results for the year. "We continue to achieve record growth thanks to our effectiveness in threat protection and strong partnerships with service providers who introduce Webroot to millions of new customers every year," said Dick Williams, Webroot CEO. "Our cloud security platform enables us to rapidly innovate new cybersecurity solutions to protect against today's most malicious threats, and then we leverage partnerships to get those innovations to market with speed and efficiency. No other company in this space comes close to our track record of innovation and profitable growth." Service Provider Focus Fuels International Business Expansion Webroot also expanded its relationships with leading remote monitoring and management (RMM) providers. With GreaterIntell, the company integrated Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business Endpoint Protection with Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA) and made Webroot available to over 10,000 Kaseya customers, representing over 10 million endpoints worldwide. New Strategic Security Partnerships Leverage Threat Intelligence Growth included a partnership with Citrix to complement its powerful NetScaler ADC platform with the Webroot BrightCloud® IP Reputation Service, helping users uncover malicious IP addresses within their IT infrastructure. DenyAll also enhanced its web application firewalls with BrightCloud IP Reputation data to detect and block malicious incoming IPs. To protect critical IoT systems against rootkits and other advanced persistent threats, Lynx Software partnered with Webroot and combined its IoT security with LynxSecure Hypervisor. These firms join Cisco, Aruba, F5 Networks, Palo Alto Networks, and other industry leaders who rely on Webroot threat intelligence to defend their customers against the most sophisticated cyber threats. Growing Share in Consumer Cybersecurity Thought Leadership Additionally, Webroot advanced the industry's understanding of the latest cyber threats with the release of the Webroot 2016 Threat Brief. The report revealed 97 percent of malware is unique to a specific endpoint, rendering signature-based security virtually useless. Webroot also released the results of its SMB Threat Brief, "Are Organizations Completely Ready to Stop Cyberattacks?", which revealed that many small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) feel they lack the resources to protect themselves against malware attacks. Both reports show that countering these threats requires Webroot's singular approach that leverages advanced, behavior-based techniques and up-to-the-second threat intelligence to detect attacks.
