SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group and the southern African distributor for Application Security, today announced that the latter's AppRadar, the industry's most comprehensive database activity monitoring solution, has won the coveted Best of Interop Award.
The Best of Interop Award winners were selected for their contributions to the networking industry by a panel of renowned editors and experts from Network Computing. AppRadar was chosen from more than 200 submissions, receiving top honours in the security category.
AppRadar combines enterprise-class database security and intelligent, real-time monitoring and auditing capabilities into one solution. Capable of monitoring millions of events as they happen, AppRadar not only protects databases against the latest attacks, but also alerts on employee misuse and abuse. By protecting sensitive data where it lives - in databases - AppRadar allows organisations to ground their security and compliance efforts in the database applications that run their businesses.
"Best of Interop Awards showcase and recognise the innovators and leaders in their product category," commented Ron Anderson, lead judge of the 2006 Best of Interop Awards and lab director for Network Computing. "Congratulations to AppSecInc as well as all of the category winners that demonstrated superior technology and innovation making it especially difficult for our IT analysts to choose just one winner in each category."
"Best of Interop is one of the industry's premier honours," added Jack Hembrough, President and CEO of AppSecInc. "Earning it for AppRadar is a tremendous endorsement for the groundbreaking nature of the product and reflects the growth of what's expected to be a billion dollar market in a few short years. It also underscores AppSecInc's unparalleled ability to help organisations accommodate ever-increasing regulatory compliance requirements while preventing unintended exposure of sensitive data."
The Best of Interop Award comes on the heels of AppSecInc announcing a strategic round of funding led by blue-chip investors and significantly increasing the company's valuation. Also highlighting AppSecInc's momentum:
* Customer base exceeding 500+ organisations -- including virtually all major financial/IT auditing institutions, 11 of the Fortune 50 and 21 of the Fortune 100.
* More than doubled bookings year-over-year, achieving cash flow positive status.
* Global channel expansion, establishing local availability of AppSecInc solutions in all geographies.
