Securify's innovative technology recognized by customers and investors
Cupertino, CA - June 28, 2005 - Securify, a leading provider of network security management today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Company award winners. Securify was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on a set of five criteria - innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.
The AO 100 was selected from over 1,000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts. The AO 100 consists of private companies at all stages of development, from early to late stage.
Securify has made a breakthrough in security technology by pairing the positive security model with the negative model, contrasted with real time traffic - no other technology today offers this powerful combination. The result is the ability to more accurately and precisely identify threats in real-time, with virtually no false positives, bringing blocking to a new level.
"The AO 100 companies are shaping today's web-driven, connected environment," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "We were inundated with nominations from leading companies, many of which I hope will appear on our list next year. My congratulations to each AO 100 winner - these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year."
"It is a great honor to be recognized as an industry leader by investors and thought leaders," said Buck French, CEO and President of Securify. "We are very proud of the success we've helped our customers achieve."
The AO 100 will be honored at the AO2005: Innovation Summit at a VIP reception at 5.00pm on July 19, 2005 at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto, California.
