RedSeal Selected as a Red Herring Top 100 North America Winner
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — June 05, 2015 — RedSeal (redseal.co), the cybersecurity analytics company, today announced that it has been selected as a Red Herring Top 100 North America Winner for 2015. Red Herring, the global media company that unites the world’s best high-tech innovators, venture investors and business decision makers in a variety of forums, selects the award winners from approximately 1,200 privately financed companies each year in the US and Canada. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, Palo Alto Networks and eBay would change the way we live and work.
“In 2015, selecting the top achievers was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “In fact, we had the toughest time in years because so many entrepreneurs had crossed significant milestones so early. But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the North America winners. We believe RedSeal embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. RedSeal should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.”
Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation and intellectual property, DNA of the founders, business model, customer footprint and addressable market. A review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers allowed 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 in North America.
“We are honored to be selected by Red Herring for this prestigious award, and we know we’re in very good company,” said Ray Rothrock, chairman & CEO of RedSeal. “Our goal is nothing less than helping global 2000 organizations maintain business continuity because we understand that their network is fundamental to their business. We do that by providing the very best cybersecurity analytics platform to certify that evolving networks are secure and accelerate compliance initiatives. We’re gratified to see our efforts recognized by Red Herring, and we remain committed to constantly enhancing our technology offerings and quality of service.”
