Seattle, WA, Aug. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

SignalSense, a software company pioneering advanced active breach detection technologies, today announced that the company’s growth and culture of innovation have netted a series of competitive awards.

In the 2016 Golden Bridge Awards, an annual industry and peer-recognition program honoring start-ups and other businesses globally, SignalSense was named the Gold Winner in the “Security Software – Innovations” category and Bronze Winner for “Start-up of the Year – Information Technology Software.”  SignalSense was also named the Silver Medalist in the Puget Sound Business Journal’s coveted list of “Washington’s Best Workplaces” in the category of businesses with 10-49 employees. Washington’s Best Workplaces is an in-depth, employee-driven awards program where employ surveys are used to identify top companies based on qualities including workplace culture, management, training, and growth opportunities.

“Our entire team is honored to receive these recognitions, which speak volumes about SignalSense’s commitment to building a culture of innovation and trust to underpin our business and guide our success,” said SignalSense CEO Lynn Kasel. “Next-generation cybersecurity technologies countering the most malicious threats of our time—including more sophisticated criminals and proliferating dangers in the sprawling ‘Internet of Things’—demand a focus on new thinking and bringing together sharp minds from security, data science, and other fields. These accolades are a rewarding nod to our company’s culture, momentum, and vision as we execute on bringing new security detection capabilities to corporate customers.”

The Golden Bridge Awards are an annual industry and peer-recognition program honoring the best companies in every major industry from large to small and new start-ups in North America, Europe, the Middle-East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin-America. This year’s winners will be honored in San Francisco on Monday, September 12, 2016, during the annual Red Carpet Golden Bridge Awards Ceremony.

To become one of Washington's Best Workplaces, companies must be nominated and agree to have employees participate in a survey by Quantum Workplaces. Employee respondents confidentially answer in-depth questions to determine workplace satisfaction—on issues ranging from culture and training to growth opportunities and how respected employees feel at work. SignalSense joined fellow workplace award winners at a celebratory reception at Safeco Field in Seattle on August 11, 2016.
