“Customers are looking for reduced complexity, risk and cost while at the same time seeking increased flexibility, speed and security. With Exclusive Networks Eir can deliver on all of those requirements.”

Exclusive Networks Ireland director Gerry Sheldrick added: “The combination of a surge in cyber threats, a cyber-skills gap and the speed of change in technology presents a massive challenge to organisations and diverts their resources away from productivity. 

“Many organisations are choosing to outsource their security to a trusted partner that has the resources, expertise and agility needed to keep ahead of threats. Eir’s Managed Security Services will maintain the integrity and resilience of an organisation’s operations, assets and data.”

Exclusive Networks is a global cybersecurity firm with 50-plus offices across the world and a presence in more than 100 countries.
