CensorNet, the complete cloud security company, today announces that with immediate effect it has acquired Florida-based cyber security company Sirrustec's, e-mail security platform, archival and storage technology, which further enhances CensorNet's product portfolio. CensorNet has also acquired the Sirrustec global email security customer base as part of the deal.

The Sirrustec Software Email Management Platform, which has highly advanced cyber threat analysis and anti-malware detection capabilities, already processes 100's of millions of messages per day.

This will include a global network of data centres, with multiple sites in Europe.

"We are pleased to have acquired Sirrustec's email security platforms and archival, storage technology," explains Ed Macnair, CEO, at CensorNet. "Sirrustec has an excellent reputation in working with MSPs to offer them the ability to add hosted email security scanning to their business. This coupled with our advanced multi-tenanted, multi-tiered hosted web security solutions gives MSP's the opportunity to achieve more revenue and greater customer retention whilst solving today's real customer challenges around cyber threats.

"This agreement provides extra resilience and protection to our customers using Microsoft Office 365 and to those using Microsoft Exchange, whether hosted or on-premise.
