Webroot Continues Strong Growth in Fiscal First QuarterBROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 17, 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 in its first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2016. The company's business segment bookings grew at 35 percent year-over-year for the quarter, and the consumer segment at 7 percent. Following a record fiscal year 2016, the company's momentum continues to build thanks to widespread adoption of Webroot cybersecurity solutions by managed service providers (MSPs), continued demand from partners to embed Webroot threat intelligence in their solutions, and consumer product sales that far outstrip the overall consumer security market. Webroot's first fiscal quarter was also marked by its acquisition of CyberFlow Analytics, an innovator in the field of network behavioral analytics. The addition of CyberFlow's FlowScape solution extends Webroot's leadership in advanced machine learning-based cybersecurity to the network layer, and enhances the company's ability to address the explosion of internet-connected devices. "Webroot's growth momentum shows how much customers value our unmatched protection against today's most dangerous threats," said Dick Williams, Webroot CEO. "With our CyberFlow acquisition, we are adding to the predictive power of our solutions across both endpoints and the network layer to secure over 138,000 businesses and millions of consumers." Webroot's Popularity with MSPs Marks another Banner Quarter In late September, the company announced a partnership with Atera, a developer of a cloud-based all-in-one remote monitoring and management (RMM), professional services automation (PSA) and remote access platform for MSPs. Atera's MSPs will benefit from the smooth integration of Atera's software solution and Webroot's next-generation endpoint security to achieve standardization across all the networks they manage. CyberInt Partnership Leverages Threat Intelligence Capabilities Consumer Cybersecurity Racks Up Another Robust Performance Thought Leadership Webroot also followed up its 2016 annual Threat Brief with the fall installment of its Quarterly Threat Trends report. The report found users are over 20 percent less likely to encounter malware and other undesirable executable files than in 2015, but that malware attacks are more sophisticated and short-lived than ever before.
