Lancope® Selected as a 2014 Red Herring Top 100 Global Company

ATLANTA, Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancope, Inc., a leader in network visibility and security intelligence, announced today that it has been selected as a Red Herring Top 100 Global company. The Red Herring Top 100 Global award recognizes the leading private companies from North America, Europe, and Asia, celebrating their innovations and technologies across their respective industries.

"This year has been another record year for Lancope as we continue to expand our business in both North America and in the International market space providing cutting-edge security solutions to some of the world's largest and most prestigious companies," said Mike Potts, president and CEO of Lancope. "Since our founding in 2000, Lancope has been laser focused on delivering innovative, customer-driven solutions to ever-evolving network and security challenges. We are honored to have our achievements recognized by Red Herring, first in North America earlier this year and now on a global level."

High-profile data breaches continue to plague enterprises and government organizations around the world. Meanwhile, increasingly stealthy threat vectors and dynamically changing IT environments make it difficult to detect malicious activity on today's networks. By taking a behavioral approach to network security, Lancope's StealthWatch® System can detect a wide range of threats that bypass conventional security solutions – including APTs, insider threats, DDoS and zero-day malware. That way, security teams can identify and shut down cyber-attacks before they wreak havoc on the network and result in devastating data losses.  

Red Herring's Top 100 Global list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising businesses and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube and eBay would change the way we live and work.

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across the globe to the Top 100 winners. We believe that Lancope embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Lancope should be proud of its accomplishment."

The Red Herring editorial staff evaluated the Top 100 companies on quantitative and qualitative criteria, including financial performance, technological innovation, management quality, strategy and market penetration. Additionally, the team reviewed the track record and standing of the companies in relation to their peers. This allowed Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models from around the world.
