HOUSTON, April 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alert Logic (www.alertlogic.com), the leading provider of Security-as-a-Service solutions for the cloud, today announced GAAP revenues for the quarter ending March 31, 2012 of $6.7 million, up 45 percent from the first quarter of 2011, and up nearly 10 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011.
Driven by customer and partner demand, Alert Logic completed and integrated its first ever acquisition during the quarter. The acquisition of Armorlogic expands Alert Logic's portfolio of Security-as-a-Service solutions.
"After a strong Q1, we remain on course to achieve our goal of being a $30 million company by mid-year," said Gray Hall, Alert Logic's president and CEO. "We finished 2011 at a $25 million run-rate, and we are now more than halfway to reaching $30 million by the end of Q2."
