“We’ve been very successful selling our product in the U.S.”

Due to Avanan’s best-in-breed approach to security for email, file-sharing, and collaboration apps, the company attributes its growth to the extensive adoption of cloud email and collaboration tools triggered by COVID-19 and the remote workforce.
