Asigra has been a key partner in this respect, providing top shelf technology to meet the broadest range of customer concerns. We welcome this recognition and extend our thanks to the entire OGL team.”

Asigra chief executive David Farajun added: "Because of expanding workplace environments the proliferation of mobile and cloud-based IT, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organisations to find, protect, and ensure the recovery of important corporate data.
