PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Authentium today announced it has been included in Gartner’s "Cool Vendors in Infrastructure Protection, 2009" report by analyst Neil MacDonald, et al.

 

The “Cool Vendor” report highlights companies with real-world usability in infrastructure protection while continuing to provide security innovation. According to Gartner’s report, "security innovation continues to come chiefly from small, pure-play vendors, rather than established, larger infrastructure and security providers."

 

"We are honored to be included in Gartner’s ‘Cool Vendors’ report,” says Doug Brunt, President and CEO of Authentium. “We believe that this recognition further validates our ability to provide a secure web browsing solution to all businesses aiming to protect their customers’ data. SafeCentral enables a secure internet session, even if the user’s PC is already compromised with the worst malware. Our focus is to keep the users sensitive information protected from hackers and crimeware, and we are happy to see Gartner validate this focus.”
