Baltimore, MD, February 13, 2015 --(PR.com)-- ZeroFOX, The Social Risk Management Company, is pleased to announce that two of its top executives, Evan Blair and Hillary Herlehy, are winners of the 2015 SmartCEO Executive Management Awards. Blair and Herlehy are being recognized for their effective leadership and contributions to ZeroFOX’s growth as the leading solution to detect and prevent social media-based cyber threats.
Social media has become the most prolific mode of communication in human history – nearly ¾ of internet-connected people are active on social, totaling over 2.5 billion accounts between Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn alone. This growing threat vector requires a new breed of cyber security solution and a company with a unique vision. The Executive Management Award reflects Blair’s and Herlehy’s success in cultivating such a talented workforce and a dynamic corporate culture.
“Evan and Hillary truly embody what it means to work for ZeroFOX. Both exude passion and have a constant focus on excellence,” said James C. Foster, CEO of ZeroFOX. “This award from SmartCEO is a testament to the entire ZeroFOX team and its commitment to solving unique security challenges for our customers.”
“As both the Co-Founder and COO, I have the unique ability to work across nearly every department. This allows me to leverage the best talent in the organization to solve diverse challenges for the business. Winning this award from SmartCEO is truly a testament to the great team that works tirelessly in support of our mission and our clients," said Evan Blair, COO of ZeroFOX. "I believe it’s important to invest in your people – they are your greatest assets.”
“At ZeroFOX, building a sense of community for our employees isn’t just an initiative – it’s a way of life. We strive to integrate our entire staff in the ZeroFOX, Baltimore, and security industry communities. Internally, we host as many open meetings as possible, whether product meetings or weekly all-company stand-ups, to keep employees informed,” said Hillary Herlehy, Chief People Officer of ZeroFOX. "It’s an honor to receive this award from SmartCEO and I look forward to playing a pivotal role in ZeroFOX’s growth year over year.”

The finalists collectively generate more than $11 billion in annual revenue and employ over 45,000 individuals in Greater Baltimore and are recognized for their creative management vision, leadership philosophy, innovative strategy and undeniable work ethic. This year’s finalists will be profiled in the March/April issue of Baltimore SmartCEO magazine and celebrated at an awards ceremony on March 19, 2015 at the Westin BWI.
