Our Cloud initiative allows customers to access innovative business applications in Singapore as well as regionally in a highly cost-effective manner. We selected BoxSentry to be our exclusive email security partner due to their innovative sender reputation and authentication technologies, as well as true multi-tenant capability of their solution."
