Secure Designs Named to CRN's 2012 Fast Growth 100 List

Annual List Recognizes the Fastest Growing Solution Providers Over the Past Two Years


GREENSBORO, NC--(Marketwire - Oct 1, 2012) - Secure Designs, Inc., a leading provider of managed IT security services, today announced that it has been named by UBM Channel to the 2012 CRN Fast Growth 100 list. The annual list features the fastest-growing solution providers in the technology industry based on two years' growth of net sales from calendar year 2009 to calendar year 2011. Secure Designs grew by almost 200 percent based on its unique business model enabling the company to serve the IT security needs of small to mid-sized organizations (SMB) in thousands of locations from its carrier class data center in Greensboro, NC. 

Fast Growth 100 companies are considered some of the best and brightest of the channel -- companies that have managed to fight strong economic headwinds to achieve impressive revenue growth over the past two years.

"Posting revenue growth of any sort is something to be proud of in the shadows of a recession," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director for UBM Channel. "But the companies on CRN's Fast Growth 100 list have experienced phenomenal increases in revenue over the past two years. Getting there is a combination of hard work and an ability to truly understand customers' needs. These companies represent the strength of the channel today and hope for a stronger tomorrow. We congratulate Secure Designs for continuing to grow and succeed in spite of recent global economic turmoil."

Secure Designs continues to record remarkable traction providing a growing portfolio of managed security products and services to companies throughout the US, specializing in delivering advanced, easily managed and affordable solutions to the small to mid-size business segment. The company manages thousands of firewalls in 35 US states and five countries internationally, and continually introduces new technologies to enhance its offerings.

"We are delighted to be included in the Fast Growth 100 for the first time," said Larry Cecchini, president and CEO at SDI. "It is a recognition of the breakthrough strategies we have deployed to grow our business, expand our customer base and build new partnerships. These efforts and our highly efficient business model have allowed us to overcome the macro economic challenges and continue to double company sales year over year by providing the highest levels of Internet security to the underserved but highly deserving SMB market."
