Irish mobile and cloud security specialist CWSI has acquired Berkshire-based rival AVR International in a €5.2 million deal as it looks to expand its footprint. The company was set up in 2011 by Ronan Murphy, who previously co-founded Cellular World, one of the State’s leading mobile phone retailers in the 1990s. Established in 2002 in Berkshire, AVR provides a range of cybersecurity, mobile device management, unified endpoint management, cloud security and professional services. AVR’s founder Helen Hall and the company’s 12 employees are to become part of the CWSI Group with immediate effect. The new entity will securely manage more than 500,000 customer devices including PCs, laptops and mobile devices, CWSI said.
