FREMONT, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 30, 2015) - Attivo Networks®, an innovator in deception technology for cyber security defense, was selected as a finalist for the 2015-2016 Cloud Computing Awards Program in the "Security Innovation of the Year" category.
With awards for excellence and innovation in cloud computing, the Cloud Computing Awards Program accepts entries from across the globe, including the US, Canada, Australasia and EMEA. More than 300 organizations entered this year's program.
"The need for detecting threats already inside of the network is growing rapidly with each new breach. Now an inevitability, it is no longer 'if' a breach will happen, but 'when'," said Attivo Network's CEO, Tushar Kothari. "We are honored to have Attivo Networks included as a finalist, validating the increased need for inside-the-network threat detection and Attivo Network's approach to leveraging dynamic deception to swiftly detect threats within network and data center environments."
Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson added, "In our fifth year of recognizing the best of the best -- not just the monoliths within the space, but all of the cloud organizations which offer real innovation and value to their users -- we are still delighted to find new names pushing hard, and established names responding by pushing the envelope still harder."
Final winners will be announced on Thursday January 28, 2016.
