'We have just finished our first quarter as an independent business and we grew 80% on the same quarter last year,' he said. 'Our goal is to be in the number one spot.'

There are new threats evolving every day in the content security space, said Macnair. 'You have got to keep on updating,' he said.

To stay ahead of threats Marshal is developing a new threat analysis laboratory in Auckland. The Auckland operation will also include a small sales office and technical support.

Marshal is headquartered in London with offices in Auckland, Sydney, Houston, Atlanta, Johannesburg, Munich and Paris.
