May 21, 2019

March Networks, a provider of video security and video-based business intelligence has been designated for the second consecutive year as a cybersecure business by Cyber Essentials Canada. 

According to a press release, March Networks was the first company in the country to achieve the certification in 2018 and is the first to re-certify through the program this year.

Developed as part of the United Kingdom National Cyber Security Programme, Cyber Essentials certification is awarded to organizations that demonstrate good cybersecurity practices and an ability to mitigate risks from internet-based threats in areas that include:

• Boundary firewalls and Internet gateways.
• Network configuration.
• Software management.
• Access control.
• Malware protection. 

Endorsed by the U.K. government, Cyber Essentials was created in collaboration with industry partners such as the Information Security Forum and the British Standards Institution. 

CyberNB, a special operating agency of Opportunities New Brunswick, administers the program in Canada, where it is gaining momentum as a requirement to win business in both public and private sectors. The toolset is a valuable asset for end user organizations seeking to verify the security of their supply chain, the release said.

"March Networks works with many Fortune 500 customers, including some of the world's largest banks, so strong corporate security practices have always been a priority," March Networks President and CEO Peter Strom said in the release. "Our participation in the Cyber Essentials program enables us to confirm that we are adhering to the most current security best practices. It also provides our customers with yet another assurance of our high cybersecurity standards."
