Elemental Wins in RSA Conference's Innovation Station Showdown, Secures 'Most
Innovative' Title at 15th Annual Conference
SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Elemental Security, Inc., the
award-winning pioneer of new technology in enterprise information security,
today announced that it was named the "Most Innovative" company at the RSA(R)
Conference 2006 last week, as determined by an esteemed panel of judges and
conference officials.
Now in its 15th year, the RSA Conference is the world's leading
information security conference and exposition group. Elemental competed
against 11 of the information security industry's up-and-coming companies.
Elemental also exhibited its policy and risk management solution at this
year's conference, which was held Feb. 13 - 17 at the McEnery Convention
Center in San Jose, Calif.
"The purpose of the Innovation Station program is to recognize the
emerging companies which, based on their technology, vision and market impact,
are poised to make a mark in the information security industry," said Sandra
Toms LaPedis, general manager and area vice president of RSA Conference. "We
evaluated many very innovative companies and technologies, and congratulate
Elemental on its win at this year's showdown."
"We were honored to participate in this year's RSA Innovation Station
competition, and are excited to have been selected as this year's most
innovative company," said Elemental CEO Peter Watkins. "Each year, the RSA
event proves to be the premier information security conference and exposition,
attracting the top security experts and companies from around the world. To
be named as the most innovative company among this mix of exciting
technologies is quite a distinction for us. It continues to validate the
unique policy-based, host-level approach we've taken to solve the
industry-wide problem of managing risk and compliance."
Elemental's award-winning product is the world's first solution that
unifies policy management, host configuration, inventory/discovery and network
access control in one seamlessly integrated offering. For the first time,
enterprises can easily express cross-platform security policies that affect
individual computers and their behavior on the network, gather meaningful
up-to-date information to compare to established metrics, and selectively
enforce policies across a diverse, dynamic environment. Security compliance
has become a top priority for enterprises due to the pressures from increasing
frequency and severity of security breaches, and from regulations such as
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard,
and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
