Job board Reed.co.uk has moved to protect its site by choosing new web security software.

The site has chosen Breach Security’s WebDefend application to block attacks and protect its site and web applications.

Mark Ridley, director of technology for reed.co.uk, said: “As one of the UK’s best-known websites, we have to honour the trust our users place in us. We always take every step to ensure we are delivering the highest levels of service to the jobseekers, employers and agencies that benefit from reed.co.uk.”
