Critical Watch™ Named Gartner 2013 Cool Vendor for Security Intelligence
Technology performs attack and defense modeling, countermeasure recommendations
DALLAS, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Critical Watch, the innovator of Active Countermeasure Intelligence, today announced that it has been named a 2013 Cool Vendor in Security Intelligence1 by Gartner, Inc., the world's leading information technology advisory company. Each year, Gartner identifies new Cool Vendors in key technology areas and publishes a series of research reports highlighting these innovative vendors and their products and services. Critical Watch now joins an elite group of companies that have been recognized by this prestigious research company.
To be eligible for this recognition, Gartner requires companies to offer "innovative and forward-thinking sets of solutions that are designed to address emerging or newly identified security challenges," adding that vendors in this emerging space "typically break boundaries between different technologies, evolve from actions within isolated silos to interactions across silos, and use contextual analysis of security information across silos." Critical Watch products are used to optimize the configuration of countermeasure devices, provide actionable intelligence to traditionally passive solutions and enhance threat analytics with additional risk-to-countermeasure contextual mappings.
"We're honored to be recognized as a leader in the Security Intelligence space; it is still very much in its formative stages and we're excited to be a contributor," stated Mike Curtis, vice president technology strategy. "We also see it as great confirmation of our vision to link comprehensive intelligence with active mitigation."
