Arxan Technologies Named Finalist in Info Security Products Guide's 11th Annual 2015 Global Excellence Awards

BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwired - Mar 20, 2015) - Arxan Technologies, the leading provider of application protection solutions, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, has named the company a finalist for the 11th Annual 2015 Global Excellence Awards in both the Security Products and Solutions for Finance and Banking and Internet of Things (IoT) Security categories. These prestigious global awards recognize security and IT vendors with advanced, groundbreaking products and security. 

"Mobile financial services, such as banking and payments, are now widely adopted and require strong mobile application security to be an integral component to upholding consumer data privacy," said Mike Dager, CEO, Arxan Technologies. "Arxan provides the world's strongest application protection solutions to its financial institution customers that are managing over $4 trillion in assets. Our globally deployed security defends applications against hacker attacks to ensure both the providers and users are protected from the effects of fraud and privacy compromise. We are proud to be acknowledged as an industry player whose innovative security solutions have been recognized by Info Security Products Guide."

The criticality of app security is quickly extending from the mobile platform to the requirements of addressing new application risks arising across growing IoT market segments. Recent market estimates indicate that IoT is on a strong trajectory to surpass the PC, tablet and phone markets combined by 2017.¹ As network and device perimeters become less defined due to the growth and distribution of software, applications require unique protections.

As such, CISO's should "make application self-protection a new investment priority, ahead of perimeter and infrastructure protection. Perimeter protection technologies cannot protect what ceases to exist -- the perimeter, which dissipates in the mobile, consumer-oriented and cloud-oriented world."² Arxan's IoT security solutions are increasingly being adopted to protect the connected car, home and enterprise.

Info Security Products Guide winners will be honored in San Francisco on April 20, 2015 during the annual awards dinner and presentation.
