Red Herring Top 100 North American nominees are evaluated on 20 main quantitative and qualitative criterion, which include disruptive impact, market footprint, proof of concept, financial performance, technology innovation, social value, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries. Red Herring's thorough assessment of each company makes the Top 100 list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry. ShieldX was selected by the Red Herring editorial team for this honor from a pool of over 1,200 North American companies because of its innovative approach to cloud security. As cloud adoption increases, so do the concerns over cloud security and the potential for data loss or leakage.

ShieldX is reinventing security to meet market-driven requirements for solutions that economically scale and secure modern cloud and virtualized data centers against new cloud-based cyber threats, such as crypto-jacking, cross workload, cross cloud and more. "This year was rewarding, beyond all expectations," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "There ae many great companies generating really innovative and disruptive products in North America. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. ShieldX shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the finalists. Now we're faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring North America. We know that the 2018 crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to make an impact." "We are honored to be selected as a finalist for the Red Herring 100 in North America," said Dr. Ratinder Ahuja, ShieldX founder and CEO. "As IT organizations move more toward cloud, ShieldX is the only company delivering a cloud security platform capable of bringing traditional security controls to today's virtual world in a way that is truly effective." Recognition from Red Herring is the latest accolade ShieldX has received in recent months of momentum and milestones and follows the company's selection by Enterprise Management Associates as a "Vendor to Watch," being named as an RSA Innovation Sandbox finalist and a strategic round of Series B funding from marquee investors including Ashar Aziz, Dimension Data and Symantec (News - Alert) Ventures, Aspect Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures and FireEye.
