Norse Darklist Named Gold Winner in 2014 Golden Bridge AwardsSAN MATEO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Norse today announced it has earned the prestigious Gold status in the Golden Bridge Awards for their Norse Darklist solution. The coveted annual Golden Bridge Awards program encompasses the world's best in organizational performance, innovations, products and services, executives and management teams, women in business and the professions, innovations, case studies, product management, public relations and marketing campaigns, and customer satisfaction programs from every major industry in the world. Organizations from all over the world are eligible to submit nominations including public and private, for-profit and non-profit, largest to smallest and new start-ups. Norse Darklist is a live, continuously updated list of the highest risk IPs on the Internet, enabling organizations to protect their network from external bad actors. Unlike traditional blacklists that are often prone to false positives and are usually an aggregation of other lists, leading to incomplete or poor coverage, Darklist information is live, accurate and contextual. Darklist provides a Norse IPQ risk score for each IP, the risk category (such as "botnet" or "Tor proxy") to provide context to the score, and latitude and longitude provided by Norse's superior geolocation capabilities. Organizations using Darklist eliminate the "blind spots" that can miss high-risk traffic and lead to breaches and compromises. More than 40 judges from a broad spectrum of industryvoices from around the world participated and their average scores determined the 2014 Golden Bridge Business Awards winners. "We are extremely pleased to have our Norse Darklist named a Gold Winner of the Golden Bridge Awards in the Information Security and Risk Management Innovations category," said Norse CEO Sam Glines. "Norse Darklist is the world's first comprehensive block list of the Internet's highest risk IPs, a collection of more than three million live, accurate entries with critical context information that enhance enterprises' ability to protect their networks, and today's honor is a testament to our commitment to be the leader in live threat intelligence solutions."
