MIAMI and TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQB: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company"), a leading Swiss-hosted cybersecurity and privacy communications platform, is excited to announce the expansion of its Sekur privacy communications suite into several countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, targeting a potential market of over four million businesses.

Sekur expects to complete its enterprise version of the Swiss-hosted proprietary SekurMail and SekurMessenger privacy communications solutions by the end of Q4 2024. The Company is expanding its footprint through strategic distribution partnerships across Latin America and the Caribbean, beginning with Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and other countries in the Andean region—together representing an addressable market of over 4 million businesses. This expansion marks a significant opportunity for Sekur, as the region increasingly demands robust privacy and cybersecurity solutions.

Currently, distribution channels include America Movil through its Telcel and Claro telecommunications networks, which are already offering SekurMessenger to SMBs. In Mexico, Telcel has a subscriber base of over 84 million wireless users, and SekurMessenger is prominently featured on Telcel's website as a go-to solution for private and secure corporate communications.

In Colombia, Sekur has signed a distribution agreement with Grupo Micronet, a well-established conglomerate that sells cybersecurity solutions throughout Spain and most of Latin and Central America. The Company anticipates its Enterprise solution will be available to large corporations and government entities across all its markets, addressing the critical need for enhanced cybersecurity.

Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, commented: "We are thrilled to expand our presence in Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean. These regions have seen a significant rise in ransomware and cyberattacks in recent years, making them prime candidates for Sekur's cutting-edge solutions. We expect to see rapid growth in sales across these markets in the coming months and years. Our Enterprise solution is set to be a game changer, particularly for large corporations and government entities that need to protect themselves from escalating cyber threats."

Additionally, the Company announces the termination of its Letter of Intent (LOI) with Cuentas Inc. ("CUEN"). CUEN was unable to fulfill the terms outlined in the LOI dated May 4, 2024, which included a proposed investment of US$500,000 into the Company. However, Sekur has secured alternative funding through a private placement announced on August 26, 2024. The first tranche, amounting to CA$961,863 (US$712,000), was successfully closed and announced on September 12, 2024.

Sekur's Data privacy solutions are all hosted in Switzerland, protecting users' data from any outside data intrusion requests. In Switzerland, the right to privacy is guaranteed in article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution. The Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP") of 19 June 1992 (in force since 1993) has set up a strict protection of privacy by prohibiting virtually any processing of personal data which is not expressly authorized by the data subjects. The protection is subject to the authority of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Under Swiss federal law, it is a crime to publish information based on leaked "secret official discussions." In 2010, the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland found that IP addresses are personal information and that under Swiss privacy laws they may not be used to track internet usage without the knowledge of the individuals involved.
