Yes, information security — it may just be the most dynamic sector of this dynamic market.”

RedSeal Selected as a 2015 Red Herring Top 100 Global

Sunnyvale, CA, Nov. 24, 2015RedSeal (redseal.net), the cybersecurity analytics company, today announced it has been selected as a 2015 Red Herring Top 100 Global winner for its work helping organizations maximize digital resilience against cyber events. The awards recognize the leading private companies from North America, Europe, and Asia today, celebrating these startups’ innovations and technologies across their respective industries.

“RedSeal is honored to be amongst Red Herring’s elite 2015 Global 100,” said Ray Rothrock, chairman and CEO of RedSeal. “In a world where it is just a matter of ‘when’ your network will be breached, not ‘if’, we work hard to help companies become digitally resilient. With RedSeal, companies can understand their exposure – to both inside and outside threats – and minimize any business impact when the inevitable happens.”

Red Herring’s Top 100 Global list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

“Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across the globe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe RedSeal embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. RedSeal should be proud of its accomplishment.”

Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track records and standing of startups relative to their peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models from around the world.
