Fidelis Security Systems Selected as a Red Herring Top 100 North America Startup

Fidelis Security Systems, the market leader in network visibility, analysis, and control solutions, today announced that the company has been named to the 2011 Red Herring Top 100, honoring the top innovative, privately held technology companies in North America. Fidelis has been named to the list based off of their Deep Session Inspection® architecture, which is the core feature of the Fidelis XPS™ network security solution. The patented Deep Session Inspection technology targets threats at the application, payload, user, and content levels, making it the only network security solution to see, study, and sto advanced threats in real time.

Red Herring's (News - Alert) Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook (News - Alert), Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Fidelis embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Fidelis should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in North America.

"Fidelis XPS has become an imperative tool for advanced threat protection throughout our industry, and being named to the 2011 Red Herring Top 100 list only further confirms the solution's accomplishments," said Peter George, President and CEO of Fidelis Security Systems. "We are continually striving to provide organizations with the network visibility, analysis, and control necessary to manage advanced threats and control data breaches in real time, and we are excited to be recognized by Red Herring as a leader in the charge against persistent adversaries."
