| Source: SkyRecon Systems
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 12, 2008) - SkyRecon® Systems (www.skyrecon.com), the
premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions,
today announced 100% growth for the third consecutive year, an exceptional
dynamic in a security market that had previously been dominated by three
traditional antivirus vendors representing approximately 85% in combined
market share.
Today, StormShield® protects over 250 clients' endpoints in the
US and EMEA, among them large accounts and prestigious names including
Community National Bank, La Mondiale, FN Manufacturing, Bouygues, City of
Luxembourg, GMF, Aviva, KBL, Natixis, and the French Department of Finance.
In addition, the sales pipeline has quadrupled since March 2007 and
includes many marquee names across multiple industries. The SkyRecon
Alliance Partner program now includes 30 VARs in Europe and 10 Solution
Providers in the US.
The company enjoys strategic technological and business relationships with
industry leaders such as Microsoft, Juniper, VMware, and SanDisk.
SkyRecon's StormShield Security Suite has just received the OESISOK
certification, which ensures that every endpoint security layer of
StormShield is interoperable with other market-leading security
applications.
SkyRecon's ongoing and recent vulnerability research,
coupled with its innovative product delivery model, enable the security
vendor to be proactive in responding to customer needs; with this, the
security market has embraced SkyRecon's technology by having it nominated
as a finalist for the SC Awards magazine in the US (Best Mobile Device
Security Solution category) and the Techworld.com Awards in the UK
(Endpoint Security Product of the Year category). SkyRecon StormShield has
also been named a top-10 CRN Emerging Tech Vendor by Everything Channel.
With its initial go-to-market of StormShield in 2004, SkyRecon positioned
itself as a pioneer in the unified endpoint security market. By focusing on
the most vulnerable component of the information system infrastructure --
the endpoint -- and by offering efficient solutions to protect both the
system and data, SkyRecon was the first to open the road of which is now
considered to be a market segment all unto itself.
"Client security is changing; point products are out, integrated suites are
in," said senior analyst Natalie Lambert of Forrester Research, Inc. in the
report titled Inquiry Insights: Client Security, Q3 2008 published July 14,
2008.
StormShield Security Suite offers integrated system protection, data
protection, and access control in a multi-layered, light-weight single
security suite: device
control, data
encryption, application
control, host-based intrusion
prevention (HIPS), system
firewall, wireless
security, and network access
control (NAC). More importantly, the lightweight extensible StormShield
client framework provides for future enhancements to be included, allowing
StormShield to quickly and easily adapt as the business, IT, and security
landscapes continue to meld and change.
"Building on our strong experience, we continue to benefit from the
maturity and ongoing consolidation of the endpoint security market and
organizations becoming more aware of the need to effectively, yet simply,
protect their corporate PCs," says Ravy Truchot, President and CEO of
SkyRecon Systems. "Today, integrated endpoint solutions are on the minds of
many, our 'time to market' is excellent, our solutions are meeting the
challenge, our prospects extremely exciting, and we expect to experience 2
or more years of 100% growth," says Truchot.
SkyRecon also launched TradeShield, a complete services-enabled solution
designed to protect financial
collaborative platforms used on the trading floors around the world.
This unique protection prevents laptop, desktop and server attacks, secures
business data, and ensures the proper use of both the systems and data --
ultimately helping to thwart data theft and rogue trades.
