London: Vigilance can report that AlienVault has been named a finalist in the 2013 Techworld Awards and the 2014 SC Awards U.S. The company was recognised as a finalist for its second consecutive year as having the “Security Product of the Year” in the Techworld Awards, and the AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform was named a finalist for the 2014 SC Awards U.S. for “Best SIEM Solution.”
The Techworld Awards have been firmly established as the major infrastructure and networking awards event in the IT calendar for the UK. Honouring both products and users, the Techworld Awards highlight innovation on all sides of the IT industry. In 2012, AlienVault won the award in the “Security Product of the Year” category.
“This year's Techworld Awards have been the most difficult yet to judge,” said Mike Simons, editor of Techworld. “The standard of entries is higher than ever and everyone who made the shortlist has demonstrated outstanding professionalism.”
Sponsored by SC Magazine, the 2014 SC Awards U.S. recognise the professionals, companies and innovative products that help fend off the myriad security threats confronted in today’s corporate world. Named a finalist for “Best SIEM Solution,” AlienVault’s USM platform provides a way for organisations with limited security staff and budget to address compliance and threat management needs. With all of the essential security controls built-in, and continuous threat intelligence updates from AlienVault Labs and the Open Threat Exchange (OTX), USM provides unparalleled security visibility for rapid threat detection and incident response.
“Among such notable lists, AlienVault is honoured to be named as a finalist for both the Techworld Awards and SC Awards,” said Barmak Meftah, president and CEO of AlienVault. “In today’s world, technology alone is not enough. Our mission has been to unify the security products, intelligence and community to enable organisations of all sizes to quickly detect and effectively respond to the latest threats.”
