cyan AG and First Investment Bank (Fibank) start cooperation
– cyan develops customized mobile app for Fibank (third largest Bulgarian bank)
– Product launch planned for June 2020
– cyan planning to enter new, significant customer contracts in the second quarter despite the impact of Covid-19

Munich, March 19, 2020 – The Bulgarian Fibank and cyan start a cooperation. The aim is to offer Fibank’s customers optimum protection against internet threats. For example, cyan’s new security solution can be used to check smartphones and tablets for security threats such as viruses, trojans and other malware.

The launch of the joint product will already take place in June. Initially, the app will be made available to Fibank’s premium customers and shortly afterwards to all existing customers.

cyan is also impacted by the economic consequences of Covid-19. Local restrictions, such as travel restrictions, can lead to delays in installations, on-site technical workshops and the finalization of contracts.

On the other hand, the relocation of large parts of the working population to the home office also creates opportunities for cyan. The increase in data traffic, partially via unsecured networks, will create a significantly higher demand for corresponding security solutions. Many large telecommunications companies already recognize the massive increase in phishing and malware and want to offer suitable products for protection to their customers.

The B2B solution from cyan for reducing data volumes by filtering out unwanted marketing data and “background noise” is also enjoying a strong increase in popularity these days as the networks of many MVNOs are extremely busy and sometimes overloaded due to the shift to the home office.

Peter Arnoth, CEO of cyan AG: “The shift to the home office is a great opportunity for cyan to convince telecom companies of our network-integrated solutions for the mass market. After a successful 2019, for which we will present preliminary figures in March, we plan to conclude further customer contracts in the coming months, despite all the restrictions imposed by Covid-19. We remain optimistic about this year.”
