Highlighting the extent of the issue, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse's Chronology of Data Breaches has documented over 356 million records that have been compromised due to security breaches since January 2005. dataguise sensitive data discovery and masking solutions remove the opportunity for data theft without disrupting workflow to mitigate risk without impacting productivity.
According to CRN, solution providers report that they are driving a higher percentage of sales and profits from emerging vendors, such as dataguise, and their technology advancements while the economy continues to recover. Emerging vendors are credited with delivering innovative solutions for customers more cost effectively than established vendors, which in turn drives higher profits for solution providers.
"This honor from CRN is great recognition for dataguise and affirms our value for partners in helping their enterprise customers understand where sensitive data resides and how to protect it," said Allan Thompson, EVP of Operations at dataguise. "We are extending our success in the industry through partnerships with security and compliance focused solution providers whose expertise aligns well with our strategic direction."
"Solution providers are always looking for new and innovative technologies to solve business problems for their customers. As this industry has shown, today's emerging vendor can be tomorrow's Cisco, Google or Facebook and getting ahead of technology can help a VAR grow their business and differentiate their offerings," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel.
Eligibility for the CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list is limited to companies that were founded in 2004 or later, have revenue under $1 billion and have an active U.S. channel strategy. Final selection to the Emerging Technology Vendor list was made by the CRN editorial team.
