SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Vormetric, a leader in enterprise data security for physical, big data, public, private and hybrid cloud environments, today announced 28% year-over-year growth in revenues for 2014, with accelerated growth in the second half of 2014 at 32% year-over-year growth. Second half growth exceeded by four times the 2014 Security Software Market growth forecast by Gartner for 2014.
