March Networks Announces That They Have Achieved CyberSecure Canada Certification

March Networks is pleased to announce that it has achieved CyberSecure Canada certification, developed by the Canadian Center for Cyber Security, Canada’s authority on cybersecurity.

In order to become certified, an organization must put into place the requirements of the 13 security control areas developed by the Center. Examples of these control areas include developing an incident response plan, implementing strong user authentication, providing employee training, implementing data recovery methods, and ensuring encryption across all data.

Accredited certification body

After implementing the requirements, an organization must go through a rigorous audit by an accredited certification body. March Networks is pleased to have been successful in the implementation of these stringent requirements.

“March Networks’ solutions are deployed by some of the world’s largest banks, retailers, and transit agencies, organizations with the most demanding cybersecurity requirements,” said Net Payne, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer for March Networks. “Our complete end-to-end approach to cybersecurity – covering our people, products and processes – enables us to continually meet these rigorous standards year after year. Achievement of this certification is further evidence of our commitment to cybersecurity and data protection.”

The company’s Security Updates and Advisories program involves regularly tracking US-CERT reports on identified vulnerabilities, conducting in-depth investigations when required, and alerting customers and partners to any necessary software updates via email alerts and information posted on the March Networks website and Partner Portal.
