“Under the renewed agreement, Super Secure will deploy an upgraded and more advanced cybersecurity solution aimed at strengthening the bank’s digital infrastructure.
The project includes the implementation of endpoint security systems designed to protect more than 10,000 employees nationwide, addressing one of the most critical areas of cyber risk for financial institutions.”
Supernet said that the contract value falls in the multi-million US dollar range, indicating a significant addition to its cybersecurity revenue pipeline over the next five years.
