VANCOUVER, Sept. 12, 2016 /CNW/ - VirtualArmor International Inc. ("VirtualArmor" or the "Company") (CSE: VAI) is pleased to provide a corporate update and 2016 outlook provided by the management of VirtualArmor.

"The first 8 months of 2016 has seen us grow across all areas of our Company and more importantly close over USD $7,000,000 in orders and onboard 21 new customers so far," said Matthew Brennan, President of VirtualArmor. "Specifically, we are just coming off our strongest quarter in our history that saw us report 63% top line growth year over year in Q2 while our hardware segment grew at a rate of 70%. We have also completed our initial phase of expansion by bringing on key personnel from leading organizations in an effort to take market share in three new territories and continue building our already healthy pipeline. Our new hires are focused on driving sales around all of our solutions, including our hardware segment, and our managed services business which provides us monthly recurring revenues for a minimum 3-year period."

"In addition to our primary business initiatives we also continue to work and improve on CloudCastr, our very own private cloud that we anticipate will be a big driving force in adding high margin software revenue to the Company's bottom line," continued Matthew Brennan.  

"For the duration of 2016 our new territories will continue to add to our overall revenue and profitability. In addition to our three new territories, we anticipate bringing on additional sales personnel in key locations across the U.S. and Canada that have a strong demand for a cybersecurity solutions company."
