NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --  SecurityScorecard, the leader in security ratings, announced today the company's achievement of reaching 1 million companies rated across 175 countries and 17 major industries.

"At SecurityScorecard, we have created a global community that spans 1 million rated companies and growing daily. The value we bring to our customers today stems from our ability to pull history and insights from this wide base to reach the ever-present goal of improving  a company's cybersecurity posture," said Aleksandr Yampolskiy, Co-Founder and CEO of SecurityScorecard. "As we pass the 1 million scorecard marker as we close out 2018, SecurityScorecard is committed to continuing to innovate ahead of the industry and provide our customers with the most accurate, scalable platform on the market."

Enabled by architecture that's built to scale and provide continuous monitoring, the logic of hand curation being a more accurate solution goes out the window when the dynamic nature of the internet is considered. SecurityScorecard's fully automated, scalable solution completes daily security ratings driving continued accuracy and a high level of fidelity. This methodology trumps any human-driven solution on the market today, as it encompasses 5-10x more companies rated than any other provider in the industry.

"Through the milestone of reaching 1 million companies rated, SecurityScorecard is doubling down on its ability to provide risk visibility to all types of businesses globally, with contextual insights from the company's deep historical data set."
