Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Waterfall Security Solutions for Customer Value Excellence Through Technology Convergence for Fourth Consecutive YearNEW YORK, October 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Waterfall Security Solutions (Waterfall Security), which specializes in protection and security for critical infrastructure and industrial control systems, received the 2015 North American Cybersecurity for Power Generation Customer Value Excellence through Technology Convergence Award from Frost & Sullivan for the fourth year in a row. For the Customer Value Excellence through Technology Convergence Award, Frost & Sullivan analysts evaluated candidates on two main factors: technology convergence impact and customer impact. Waterfall Security's scorecard in these areas ranked highest and proved the company to have consistent growth potential, ROI benefits and industry impact. "Waterfall enables safe IT/OT integration while ensuring the amalgamation of data from these silos is secured and the vulnerability removed by moving the data in only one direction instead of the customary bi-directional movement," said Ashay Abbhi, senior analyst, Convergence Growth Innovation, Frost & Sullivan. "Frost & Sullivan considers Waterfall's pioneering solution to potentially become the standard in cybersecurity across industries, brought about by its disruptive technological convergence to secure the most vulnerable and sensitive point of attack-the data." "This recognition from Frost & Sullivan reinforces the global need for alternatives for the fragmented security of firewalls to allow safer and more secure integration between IT and operations technology," said Lior Frenkel, CEO and co-founder of Waterfall Security. "Waterfall's unique technology addresses these problems and conters attacks, saving electric utilities the millions of dollars potentially associated with a security breach. This award validates the continuous, solid ROI we provide to our customers." Waterfall Security resource station:
