IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identity security experts SecureAuth closed out 2019 with one of the company’s strongest quarters ever by shifting its focus to high-growth identity security opportunities, initiating several strategic partnerships and alliances, introducing innovative product enhancements and earning several industry accolades.
A strong close to the year was no surprise to SecureAuth CEO Martin Savitt, who took the reins of the company in Q4. “The first half of 2019 was transformative for SecureAuth as we divested non-identity related businesses to allow us to focus on the high growth identity security market fully. This strategy is already delivering results as evidenced by adding three of the top five US Airlines, and two out of three top Health Insurance Companies in the country as SecureAuth clients,” Savitt said.
Savitt joined SecureAuth as CEO in 2019 as part of the company’s strategy to leverage its award-winning authentication capabilities with a focus on securing large enterprise companies.
“I am excited about the explosive growth opportunities in customer identity and SecureAuth is uniquely positioned to solve the complex security challenges our customers face while reducing business execution friction associated with traditional identity and access products,” said Savitt. “With more than 600 customers across the globe and a team of over 225 dedicated identity professionals, SecureAuth is solving some of the most complex identity challenges for some of the largest organizations in the world.”
Getting any company back to its roots is a tough task, but Savitt has managed to bring organization, order and results to SecureAuth in his first few months. Investment in product development is up double digits. Hiring is up, including a new CISO & Chief Evangelist and a new Chief Customer officer – further supporting the mission of aligning everything the company does around its mission to provide customer identity security to the enterprise.
When asked about his predictions for SecureAuth in 2020, Savitt didn’t hesitate, “We’re going to drive 100% bookings growth in 2020.”
