SecureWave Garners Industry Recognition as EndPoint Security Innovator
SecureWave's Disruptive Approach to Endpoint Security Earns Red Herring Top 100 Innovator Award and Invitation to Present at Forrester's Emerging Technology Showcase.
Durham, N.C., Dec. 7, 2004
SecureWave, a leader in endpoint security software, today announced the company has been selected as a Top 100 Innovator by
Red Herring and has been invited to present at Forrester's Emerging Technology Showcase (ETS). The two prestigious honors illustrate SecureWave's growing profile as an endpoint security innovator and cap off an extremely successful year for the company.
"The
Red Herring Top 100 Innovator award and Forrester ETS invitation validate SecureWave as an emerging endpoint security leader," said Bob Johnson, CEO of SecureWave. "The classical approach to information security is to develop and introduce solutions that fit neatly into technology category 'boxes'. This has affected much of the latest innovations in information security by limiting advances to low-level technology. Innovation is about thinking outside the box. SecureWave began its quest by taking a fresh look at how we could solve today's most pressing endpoint security problems. Our market acceptance and recognition through this award confirm to us that the market is ready for a change in how it thinks about information security."
The Red Herring Top 100 Innovators is a list of 100 public and private companies that have made significant breakthroughs in technology, financing, marketing, sales, service, leadership and business strategy. Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated over 1200 submissions from 900 companies. The editors used a careful analysis of financial data as well as subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy and dedication to research and development. The companies on the Top 100 list will present their business models and technologies at the Red Herring Fall 2004 conference, December 6-8, 2004 in Monterey, Calif.

"Selection for the Innovation 100 puts a company in an elite group. The editors worked hard to identify the companies who will benefit from the important technology trends in the coming year," said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of
Red Herring.
