LAVAL, Québec, February 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Today, Terranova WW Corporation, a leader in the information security industry according to Gartner's 2015 Magic Quadrant for Security Awareness CBT report, announced the opening of a Swiss franchise, in partnership with CCZ Business SARL. Terranova WW Corporation thus continues its international expansion, and today's announcement validates its position in the European market.

Claude Coquoz and his team joined Terranova in January 2016 and will be responsible for activities at Terranova's new Swiss franchise. Mr. Coquoz has proven expertise in IT management consulting and will direct business development activities with his team of consultants. The opening of this new Swiss franchise will facilitate relationships with the growing local clientele.

"The objective of information security awareness is to ensure the formation of strong links in the organization's security chain to protect business information. Our results have been excellent and they will sharply reduce the success rate of cyber-attacks," remarks Claude Coquoz. He concludes, "In Switzerland, the numbers of computing devices (PCs, tablets and smart phones) per resident are among the highest in the world, and it is therefore imperative that companies train those they work with in that sphere."

The new office will consolidate the company's European growth initiatives with its presence in the Switzerland's business sector. "Like everywhere else, cyber-criminality is increasing. In addition to working in 35 languages, Terranova provides a comprehensive solution to raise awareness about information security, with the primary goal of changing employees' security-related behaviours. It is therefore a great business opportunity for Terranova to be able to offer its internationally recognized products and services to this growing market," states Lise Lapointe, president of Terranova WW Corporation.
