VU Security, a multinational cybersecurity company focused on fraud prevention and identity protection, with presence in Latin America in more than 100 corporate clients, announces its landing on the European continent with the opening of offices in London, under the name VU Security Limited.
During 2019, prestigious entities from different parts of the world recognized VU's efforts to improve the lives of citizens: Microsoft Country Partner of the Year, Softshell Vendor Award in Germany, winners of the Accelerate Spain program, and as finalists in the competition promoted by the New York City Mayor's Office and Jerusalem Venture Partners, Israel's leading venture capital firm.
In the last year, VU's growth was also reflected in its workforce. In that period, the company increased its workforce by 62% compared to 2018, and is actively working towards the goal of becoming the largest cybersecurity employer in the next 10 years. The company already has a team in Europe in order to grow its business and move its expertise and technologies in the old continent.To further its global expansion plans, over the next 3 years, the company plans to invest £2 million in Research and Development.
"VU's desire for 2020 is to continue working to provide innovative and quality solutions that help companies around the world to boost their businesses and keep the commitment intact to help people to have a better quality of life," said Sebastian Stranieri, CEO of VU. "At VU, there are no borders that can stop us. We will maintain the same passion and commitment that have characterized us to open more offices in different parts of the world, and further expand our team of cybersecurity professionals globally. It is a great satisfaction to have the support of governments such as the United Kingdom, through the Department of International Trade (DIT). We are on a good path and reaping the fruits of responsible and serious work for many years," he concluded.
To lead the landing in the old continent, VU chose Tiziano Di Biase, one of the ideologists of the Financial Innovation Board of the Central Bank of Argentina and a graduate of the London School of Economics with the Chevening scholarship of the British government. "This milestone marks the culmination of almost a year of work in which we seek to capitalize on VU's experience and the enormous potential of the digital transformation process in a market such as the European one," said the man who has been Regional Director since February.
"VU is an Argentine cybersecurity company that already operates throughout Latin America with banks, retail and government sectors. Their products are fantastic and they are now heading to the UK to take advantage of the extraordinary fintech system to continue to grow," said Joanna Crellin, HM Trade Commissioner for Latin America and the Caribbean / Consul General at the British Consulate General in São Paulo.
