Carlow / Irish private cloud company, Stryve has been honoured with an award at the Chambers Ireland In Business Recognition Awards 2021. The Stryve team has won Best Cyber Security and Compliance Company at an event held on Friday 25th February in the Clayton Hotel, Dublin 4.

The annual Chamber Awards, kindly sponsored by Zurich, seek to recognise the outstanding work of its Chamber network around the country. The ceremony was opened by Ian Talbot, CEO of Chambers Ireland and the MC for the afternoon was Vincent Wall, Business Journalist and Broadcaster.

The event was attended by Paul Delahunty, Chief Security Officer at Stryve, a leading security expert, with fellow Tipperary native, Andrew Tobin, CEO, all-star Kilkenny Hurler and Business Development Manager, Eoin Murphy and Andrew Cushen a Penetration Tester from the winning private cloud company.

Paul and Andrew hails have been actively contributing to the national conversation about cybersecurity in the media, particularly following the HSE ransomware attack in April last year.

Speaking about the award, Stryve CEO, Andrew Tobin said,

« Stryve is delighted to receive this acknowledgement from Chambers Ireland and to be aligned with such a respected international organisation at the fore of business thought leadership across the globe.

This seal of approval from Chambers Ireland has given our team a real boost. The Stryve team are incredible. They work tirelessly to provide hands-on and personal service to our clients. They know they are valued and are the heart of the organisation but getting external validation for their work has put a pep in everyone’s step! »

With more people working from home, the change in working patterns with employees now working from home or using the hybrid model has increased the need for greater data security awareness.

Stryve has a niche in private cloud with data centres in Ireland, the UK and Poland and is well-positioned to realise its ambition of becoming Europe’s largest private cloud provider.

Its private cloud solutions offer several key benefits to its clients. Stryve designs bespoke, scalable solutions for each client. Real-time backup and a fast recovery time are additional benefits of Stryve’s technology. Crucially, should a problem occur, a client support employee is always available to resolve the problem day or night.

Paul Delahunty, CSO with Stryve explains,

“Most SMEs don’t have the skills needed to understand the cyber security and cloud needs for the business. They are looking to companies like us for advice. People want to know their data is safe. They do not want to waste resources sorting out a problem that could have been prevented.

One advantage for Stryve customers is that there is always a support person available at the end of the phone. Offering a personal service is a core value for our team and is reassuring for our clients.”
