San Jose, California - 7 January, 2008- Agiliance, Inc., the leading provider of IT GRC solutions, today announced it has been named a finalist in SC Magazine Awards program for outstanding achievement in information-technology (IT) security. Its flagship solution, Agiliance IT-GRC, was named a finalist in the Excellence Award “Rookie Company of the Year” category.
“SC Magazine’s distinguished panel of award judges have recognized Agiliance’s leadership and contributions to the world of IT security,” said SC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Illena Armstrong.
IT-security vendor companies nominate their solutions for consideration in SC Magazine’s Awards program, and entries are judged by a panel of 18 leading chief security officers from major corporations and large public sector organizations. The annual SC Magazine Awards have recognized security’s key contributors and outstanding products for more than a decade. As the industry’s preeminent award program, individuals, brands and products shortlisted address not only the challenges prominent today, but also the emerging threat landscape of tomorrow.
“With more than 700 emerging security start-ups competing for mind share, budget, and talent, there’s a lot of noise in the marketplace about what to buy, why you need it, and who to buy it from,” said Patrick J. Conte, CEO, Agiliance. “Agiliance has had a phenomenal amount of traction in a very short period of time. We are delighted that SC Magazine judges believe we have executed in a fashion that warrants our being recognized for such a prestigious honor.”
