GuardianEdge Selected for Red Herring 100
SAN FRANCISCO -- May 22, 2008 -- GuardianEdge, the leader in endpoint data protection for the enterprise, is a recipient of the Red Herring 100 North America, an award given to the top 100 private technology companies headquartered in the region. Selections were made based on technological innovation, excellence in management, strong corporate financials and the breadth of each company’s partner and customer base.
"Having received more than 800 submissions, it is clear that we are witnessing a new outburst of creativity," said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. "With venture capital flowing again, it’s exciting to see technology innovators and business investors collaborate to create disruptive technologies. The Red Herring 100 North America companies are impressive up-and-comers, and definitely the ones to watch."
Red Herring’s annual lists of top private companies are an important part of the company’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work.
“Recognition as a member of the Red Herring 100 further underscores the market leadership GuardianEdge has achieved through the significant expansion of the GuardianEdge Data Protection Platform, growth of our government and enterprise user-base and aggressive partnerships in the area of enterprise data protection,” said Alan Fudge, president and CEO of GuardianEdge. “We are committed to innovating the IT security space, and over the last five years we’ve rolled out millions of licenses to organizations looking to improve their overall IT security posture, safeguard brand equity, and protect intellectual property or other critical information.”
Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 800 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
The complete GuardianEdge Data Protection Platform was designed to protect intellectual property, customer information or other sensitive data at the endpoint. The loss of this information has the potential to incur substantial costs and embarrassing public disclosures for affected organizations. The Platform delivers strong encryption and granular, policy-based access controls, centrally managed administration, and ease of deployment and management. Additionally, by leveraging the Active Directory service commonly used by IT administrators, the Platform delivers unprecedented scalability, easy integration with existing infrastructure and low deployment and training costs.
