nexTier Networks Named to Network World's 2008 "10 IT Security Companies To Watch" List
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANTA CLARA, CA, November 19 / MARKET WIRE/ --
nexTier Networks, the company that is
revolutionizing information security and data leak prevention through its
unique semantic analysis technology, today announced that it was named one
of the "10 IT Security Companies To Watch" in the annual list from Network
World, one of the network industry's most prestigious trade publications.
Published in the November 17 issue, nexTier Networks was selected as one of
top security newcomers worth watching for its data leak prevention
technology. Recognition as one of the industry's most influential start-ups
comes right on the heels of the company's initial product launch and first
customer deployments this Fall.
"Being recognized by Network World speaks volumes about the step forward
our technology represents in data security," said nexTier Networks' CEO
Tarique Mustafa. "We have created the most accurate way to identify
information using semantic analysis and it applied to the most difficult
problem enterprise security faces -- the threat from inside."
nexTier Networks' patent-pending technology is a leap forward in data
security protection using semantic analysis for data detection. Much in the
way that DNA is used to identify humans, nexTier's algorithms automatically
extract a unique security DNA sequence, correlate that DNA sequence to
security policies in real-time, and use that sequence as a means of
enforcing security policies against that data. nexTier's technology
prevents data loss, both intentional and unintentional, by automatically
discovering data located anywhere throughout the enterprise, analyzing the
data and determining the data's security value within the context of the
enterprise's business. nexTier's technology is highly immune to evasion;
algorithms can determine the origin of data even if it has been retyped
into a brand new document or the information is rearranged and reworded in
a deliberately evasive manner.
nexTier Networks was founded by Tarique Mustafa and has a team, board , and
board of advisors that include many leading authorities from companies like
Symantec, McAfee, RSA, VeriSign, Cisco, Juniper, GreenBorder, Sygate and
Securify. nexTier Networks is funded by Ecosystem Ventures, Archimedes
Capital and prominent Silicon Valley angel investors.
