TENAFLY, N.J., May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CISOs from across industries selected Aqua Security and LogicHub as the winners of Security Current's Security Shark Tank® during RSA 2018. The event brought security solutions providers face-to-face with CISO buyers.

This was the first time that two vendors tied for the win.

In the words of the event's host and moderator Devon Bryan, CISO, the Federal Reserve System: "The Annual Security Shark Tank during RSA is one of the truly special events I look forward to each RSA where I can simultaneously be immersed in meaningful peer interactions with some of industry's leading CISOs while learning about some of the more disruptive innovations transforming our industry."
