BOSTON (PRWEB) April 20, 2021

iboss, the leading Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) cloud security provider, today announced it has seen tremendous growth over the first quarter in 2021. Since raising $145M in early January to support the company’s go-to-market efforts, iboss launched a channel partner program, added more than 70 new enterprise customers and brought on almost 50 employees since the start of the year, and is still actively hiring. The momentum iboss has made growing its enterprise business is largely attributed to the seismic shift of organizations migrating from on-prem appliances to cloud-based SASE platforms to improve connectivity and security in support of remote workforces.

“We’re committed to the success of our customers, partners and employees and are very proud of what we accomplished over the last quarter,” said Paul Martini, chief executive officer at iboss. “The demand for consolidation of networking and security-as-a-service has presented a huge opportunity for the SASE market. The iboss purpose-built cloud platform provides organizations and their employees with the fastest and most secure connectivity to any cloud application on any device, from any location. We look forward to our next phase of growth as we continue to invest in innovation, partners and employee growth.”
