Arxceo Corp., Computer Associates, F5 Networks, Sourcefire and Symantec
Receive Top Honors
RSA(R) CONFERENCE 2005, April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- With an attendance
record-breaking year, RSA(R) Conference 2005 is pleased to announce the
winners of the Conference's first annual Exhibitor Impact Award and Innovation
Station Award. Arxceo Corp., Computer Associates, F5 Networks and Symantec
are among the first Exhibitor Impact Award recipients and Sourcefire was
selected as the winner of the first Innovation Station Award. RSA Conference
2005, the world's leading information security event, took place on February
14-18 at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center.
"RSA Conference believes it is important to recognize the companies that
are making their presence known in the security industry and are striving to
make their mark by having a critical impact on the marketplace in the years to
come," said Sandra Toms LaPedis, area vice president and general manager of
RSA Conferences. "The winners of the 2005 award programs were acknowledged
for delivering compelling security products and making the expo floor such a
success."
The Innovation Station Showcase
The Innovation Station was a new pavilion on the exhibition floor that
showcased up-and-coming information security products and services. After a
review process that included 60 applicants, eleven emerging and pre-IPO
companies were selected to participate in a showdown during the Conference.
Each company was offered a demonstration slot to "pitch" their products or
services to a panel of independent judges comprising distinguished members of
the venture capital and information security community, including Asheem
Chandna, Greylock(R); David Blumberg, Blumberg Capital; Mary Ann Davidson,
Oracle; Michael Goguen, Sequoia Capital; and Ted Schlein, Kleiner Perkins
Caulfield & Byers.
The judges then selected the company they viewed as the most commercially
viable and likely to succeed by honoring them with the "Innovation Station
Award."
Sourcefire was awarded first place for the Innovation Station Award. The
second runner-up was Fortify Software and the third runner-up was CipherTrust.
Other companies participating included: Consul Risk Management;
eIQnetworks; Lockdown Networks; Ounce Labs, Inc.; Q1 Labs; Skybox Security;
Virsa Systems; and Webroot Software.
"The Innovation Station was one of the most interesting and fun elements
of RSA Conference 2005," said Mary Ann Davidson, chief security officer,
Oracle. "It proved to be an exciting and entertaining way to learn more about
some of the new and eminently useful security technologies on the market
today."
The Exhibitor Impact Awards
RSA Conference 2005 featured its first annual Exhibitor Impact Awards,
where deserving exhibitors were recognized in two award categories: 'Best of
Show' and 'Bright Idea.' During the Conference, judges walked the Expo floor
to identify exhibitors who demonstrated the most effective exhibits. The
winners were selected based on five criteria including: product messaging,
signage/graphics, staff interaction, booth design and promotion. On
Wednesday, February 16, four winners were announced by booth size: a 10x10, a
10x20 or larger, an island and the 'Bright Idea.'
Symantec received the award for the island size booth, F5 Networks for the
10x20 booth, and Arxceo Corp. for the 10x10 booth. These companies were
selected based on a successful combination of messaging, product display,
corporate ID, and functionality in their exhibit. The 'Bright Idea' award was
given to Computer Associates for a clever and innovative way of uniting two
separate booth spaces to create one larger corporate presence.
