Dramatic Sales Growth, Continued Federal Sector Penetration and Broad International Expansion Mark Most Successful Six Months in Company History
LAS VEGAS, NV and OVERLAND PARK, KS--(Marketwired - Jul 31, 2013) - BLACK HAT USA 2013 -- FireMon, the leading provider of security management and risk analysis solutions, today announced that the first half of 2013 was the most successful period in company history. On the heels of a record-setting 2012, in the past six months FireMon has achieved milestones that have propelled the company to its fastest ever start.
Highlights include:
Corporate Achievements
"I am incredibly proud of the team's ability to innovate, adapt and drive such impressive growth," said Jody Brazil, President and CTO of FireMon. "Our customers come to us not just because we can tell them if a firewall rule is out of date or a policy change has opened access to a critical asset, they come to us because we can identify all of the inconsistencies, errors and actions associated with their security posture -- and tell them what this means collectively to their business in terms of real and tangible risks. We identified this critical need first and pioneered the most advanced solution in the industry, and now that foresight is putting us in incredibly high demand. We look forward to building on the tremendous momentum of the first half of 2013 and carrying that through the rest of the year."
Channel Success
"The challenges to our nation's information technology systems, networks, and critical infrastructure continue to proliferate, as both internal and external threats relentlessly test DoD, intelligence and civilian agency network security," said Christopher Wilkinson, Director, Cyber Security Technologies at immixGroup. "Add the recent sequestration to the mix and it becomes increasingly important to automate the manual processes that bog analysts down, so they are able to focus on proactive risk assessment and remediation to improve security levels. FireMon is part of our cyber security portfolio and we are excited to work with a strategic technology solution that provides government agencies the scalability and performance needed to strengthen their cyber security posture."
"Some solutions just calculate a threat score -- that doesn't help clean up a dated firewall rule base or translate to a better security posture," said Mark Jones, CEO of SOS Security, A Forsythe Company. "Our customers require solutions that provide the depth of analysis that enables them to more efficiently identify, measure and remediate the network security infrastructure vulnerabilities that could potentially put their critical assets at risk. These are the hallmarks of Security Manager, and why we elected to partner with FireMon."
