LAS VEGAS and TEL-AVIV, Israel, Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The City of Las Vegas has selected BitDam’s Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solution to support its ongoing endeavors in protecting its organization from cyber attacks. With 95% of content-borne cyber attacks being delivered via sharing and collaboration, the City of Las Vegas adopted BitDam’s technology, which demonstrates unparalleled detection rates of email-borne attacks, to ensure the organization is secure.

“The Advanced Threat Detection solution enables us to significantly reduce our exposure to content-borne cyber attacks,” said Michael Lee Sherwood, Director, Information Technologies, City of Las Vegas, “With attackers becoming more sophisticated, new approaches need to be undertaken to ensure cyber security. We deployed Advanced Threat Detection on top of other secure email gateway products that we have in place as it allows us to detect a wide range of threats.”
