NetWitness Named Among Fastest Growing 'Future 50' by Washington SmartCEO

HERNDON, Va., Jan. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NetWitness Corporation, provider of the world's most powerful real-time network security monitoring platform, announced today that the company and CEO Amit Yoran have been named as recipients of the Washington SmartCEO Fast 50.  The award highlights Washington's fastest-growing companies.

The announcement is the fourth recent award recognizing NetWitness' growth and prominence at the regional and national level – with the company placing first in the DC area in the annual Inc. 500 (21st nationally) and 3rd in the Washington Business Journal's ranking of fastest growing companies in the Washington DC Area.  The company was also named by AlwaysOn as a Venture Summit Mid-Atlantic 100 Winner.

Future 50 is SmartCEO's largest and most highly anticipated program of the year, recognizing 50 local Washington-DC area companies based on their revenue and employee growth over a three-year period. These companies, each of which earn in excess of $10 million in annual revenue, represent the future of the region's economy and are exemplary leaders in business.  

"NetWitness is a global company with strong growth across all regions.  While more than half of our customers are large commercial enterprises from outside of the Mid-Atlantic Area, the company's roots are firmly planted in the local region," said Amit Yoran, CEO, NetWitness. "More than 70% of all US Government Cabinet Level Agencies have adopted NetWitness' products to defend against both current and emerging threats, and based on the advancement of attacks that marked 2010, we expect our aggressive growth to accelerate in 2011."

"Each Future 50 winner has effectively translated their passion and innovation into tremendous growth and success," says Jaime Nespor-Park, publisher of SmartCEO magazine. "We are honored to recognize the 50 fastest-growing companies in Greater Washington."

Winners will be recognized at the Washington SmartCEO Future 50 event, scheduled to take place Jan. 27, 2011, at the Hyatt Regency Reston Hotel.
