We have been working with global clients, many of whom are based across the United States, for some years with huge success. Having strong leadership and a presence on the ground in North America will enable a higher-level of customer service and greater opportunities for our business to grow. Our 40+ engineers develop the most advanced hardware and software for securing the next-generation of computing devices and cloud-infrastructure, and Janssen will ensure we are aligned with customer and market requirements.”

“Silex Insight is known for product excellence and unwavering dedication to its customers.
