Aurionpro Solutions recently announced their acquisition of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute Graduate, Spikes Security. The acquisition and subsequent merger resulted in a twelve percent share increase for Aurionpro, a promising sign of its position in the growing information security market. The merger of Spikes Security with Aurionpro's Enterprise Security Division will henceforth be known as Cyberinc - An Aurionpro Company. The new subsidiary is based in Los Gatos, California where it plans to focus on providing solutions to next generation security challenges for both consumers and enterprises.

Aurionpro is a graduate of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute and is lauded as a global leader in enterprise security, digital innovation, and banking solutions. With over fifteen years of experience securing over 100 million of the world's identities, Aurionpro's expertise is unmatched. Delivering technology solutions to Fortune 500 companies the world over, Aurionpro is recognized as one of the top 100 technology solution providers for financial institutions. The acquisition of Spikes Security is an opportunity to implement the best available tech into the former Enterprise Security Division.

Spikes Security was founded in California in 2012 by Branden Spikes with the help of venture-capital backers. Before founding his own company Mr. Spikes spent over fifteen years working for Elon Musk as a high level technology expert, leaving his mark on the incredible makeup of companies like Zip2, Tesla, Paypal, and SpaceX. Spikes Security gained critical acclaim from customers and industry leaders with Isla. Isla is a high-tech web malware isolation appliance designed to isolate all web content outside of the secure network before seeking and eliminating web malware. The creation of Isla helped Spikes Security set itself apart from other competitors in a heavily saturated industry that relied heavily upon detection technology. The Isla approach to security risks was (and is) to use isolation technology to ensure safe browsing rather than detection technology that merely guesses at the safety of a page's content. Isla will be a cornerstone of Cyberinc's security services, offering secure, isolated use of the internet without fear of malware infecting secure networks. 

Spikes Security provides a next-level security tool in the form of Isla while Aurionpro brings years of expertise to the table. The subsidiary formed by these two exceptional companies will be dedicated to a combination of malware isolation and identity management. Aurionpro's CEO, Samir Shah, explains:

Cyberinc, our new subsidiary, will deliver comprehensive solutions that address two of the biggest challenges plaguing the industry today -- data breaches from fraudulent and unauthorized access and sophisticated web borne malware attacks."

Cyberinc will combine the powerful isolation technology of Spikes Security's Isla with Aurionpro's Identity and Access Management. This combination of cutting edge security will protect the global markets of major industry - including banking, government, and media institutions - from cyber threats. In this way, Cyberinc will offer solutions that have applications not only for Fortune 500 companies, but also for everyday consumers.

Cyberinc offers specialized threat protection and 300 security professionals on staff throughout the world. The cooperation of Spikes Security and Aurionpro's Security Division provides a fantastic platform for service and great potential for growth. According to Cyberinc CEO Michael Mansouri,

Integrating the revolutionary anti-malware technology pioneered by Spikes Security founded by Branden Spikes with the proven capabilities of the global Aurionpro Enterprise Security team represents a new approach to the problem of cyber-security."  

The global information security industry is currently estimated to be worth $75 billion. That number will grow, as per a forecast from the IDC that approximated the market would experience a compound average growth rate of 9.8% between 2015 and 2020. The advanced products and services of Cyberinc hold tremendous promise in a world that is facing new threats everyday.
