Gartner Recognizes ValidEdge as a “Cool Vendor” for Infrastructure Protection
ValidEdge was one of five vendors globally identified in the highly prestigious Gartner report prepared by analysts Ray Wagner, Joseph Feiman, Lawrence Orans, John Pescatore, Neil MacDonald, Peter Firstbrook and Greg Young.
San Jose, CA, May 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- According to the Gartner report released on April 21, 2011: One recurring trend among these comparatively new technology providers is their focus on addressing the increasingly difficult security demands of increasingly heterogeneous — and frequently virtualized — computing environments, and doing so very rapidly and with minimal disruption of business operations.
“Recognition by Gartner on the Cool Vendor list is a significant achievement. ValidEdge offers a unique malware solution for enterprises that are under persistent attack from sophisticated hackers. Any organization with high-value assets, including government agencies, financial institutions or other mature security incident response teams now have the ability to detect, analyze and repair compromised systems within minutes” said Gurjot Singh, CEO at ValidEdge.
About the ValidEdge Anti-Malware and Malware Analysis Systems
The ValidEdge systems continuously monitor critical networks for any suspect code intrusion. Once suspicious code is detected, the system performs an instant malware analysis and issues alerts for IT personnel to fix security vulnerabilities and repair infected systems. The ValidEdge Network Malware Security system is the most advanced entrant in a new and emerging market of anti-malware systems that are designed from the ground up to deal with new and single target malware-based attacks which go undetected by firewalls or endpoint security products.
About Gartner's Cool Vendors Selection Process
Gartner's listing does not constitute an exhaustive list of vendors in any given technology area, but rather is designed to highlight interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services. Gartner disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to this research, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness of a particular purpose.
Gartner defines a cool vendor as a company that offers technologies or solutions that are: Innovative, enable users to do things they couldn't do before; Impactful, have, or will have, business impact (not just technology for the sake of technology); Intriguing, have caught Gartner's interest or curiosity in approximately the past six months.
