<b>10
April 2013, Ismaning, Germany </b>- Integralis AG, a global provider of IT
Security and Information Risk Management solutions and the IT security arm of
NTT Communications Group, has announced record revenues of ?204.9m for 2012, an
increase of 15.1 per cent over the previous year, as well as improved EBITDA
figures of ?6.2m, up from ?-7.7m in 2011.
The company’s financial success reflects its ongoing transition to focus
more on high-end Managed and Professional Services (MAPS), in line with
changing market conditions and global business drivers. The evolution of the Integralis business, initiated
in 2011, will continue throughout this financial year and beyond as it positions
itself as a ‘Trusted Advisor’ to organisations looking to be agile but secure
in the current economic climate.
Simon Church, CEO, Integralis AG, said: ”We are seeing a constantly
shifting business landscape with several dominant factors driving it – big
data, cloud, mobility and social networking and collaboration. While these are having a profound effect on
how businesses grow and retain customers, there is also a continued focus on
driving efficiency and increasing visibility across the organisation. Plus, there’s the need to attract and retain
the right talent and exploit new markets – and all of this against the backdrop
of a continually evolving threat environment.
”As a result, we have invested heavily in our Consulting and Professional
Services capabilities (currently numbering more than 500 business and
technology consultants), supported by investment and resources from our majority
shareholder, NTT Communications to meet demand.”
Akira Arima, CEO at NTT Communications,
added, ”NTT Communications
continues to invest in the growth and expansion of Integralis as our dedicated
security arm worldwide. We are focusing
on building on the company’s Managed and Professional Services expertise to
provide seamless information security services and to be a trusted security
partner to customers.”
Heiner Luntz, Integralis’ Chief Financial Officer, added: ”Traditionally
companies have simply bolted on security products and technologies to tackle
security threats, but this approach no longer works in our ‘brave new world’. We recognise this, plus the need for a
balance between Managed and Professional Services and best of breed security technologies
that allow clients to make informed decisions aligned to their overall
corporate goals and risk appetite. We’ve
made significant changes within the business to reflect this, offering clients strategic
and practical advice on information security and risk management, combined with
deep technical expertise and industry knowledge.”
