Victoria, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2021) - Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) and related subsidiaries ("Plurilock" or the "Company"), an identity-centric cybersecurity solutions provider for workforces, has received a purchase order worth US$120,000 from a county government in California.
Plurilock secured the order in a competitive open market due to the team's exceptional track record for quality products and customer service. The Company will provide the county government entity with cybersecurity software and maintenance support per the purchase order.
Government entities at all levels have seen an increase in cybercrime, impacting networks and critical infrastructure. Since 2017, cyber-attacks against state and local governments have risen an average of almost 50%.1 This has proven costly for them, with recent data showing that ransomware attacks cost local and state governments over $18 billion in 2020.2
Cyber-attacks against government entities have been a significant talking point in recent days, with U.S. President Joe Biden speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin about setting parameters to protect against these types of attacks on infrastructure and government agencies.3 Along with increased pressure due to the surge in attacks, state and local governments often face the challenge of limited resources and extended procurement timelines, underscoring the importance of vendors they select for cybersecurity products.
This order demonstrates the Company's continued efforts to expand and serve organizations within the government vertical at the local, state, and federal levels.
