Business Wire
Recently acquired by Symantec, Fireglass’ web
isolation technology strengthens Symantec’s Integrated Cyber
Defense Platform and ability to secure the cloud generation
Fireglass, the leading web isolation vendor, announced today
that CRN® has named Fireglass to its 2017 Emerging Vendors
list in the Security category. This list recognizes recently
founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers that are shaping the
future of the IT channel through unique technological
innovations.
Recently acquired by Symantec Corporation, Fireglass provides
web isolation technology that prevents malware and phishing attacks
from occurring with web and email activity, while providing a
seamless user experience. Fireglass’ agentless solution executes
web sessions remotely and prevents any web content from reaching
and infecting endpoints. Delivered as a cloud service or
on-premises, Fireglass augments existing security architectures to
provide secure web access to risky and uncategorized sites, while
minimizing security overhead from complex web access policies,
support tickets and alerts.
In addition to celebrating standout companies, the CRN Emerging
Vendors list serves as a valuable resource for solution providers
looking to expand their portfolios with cutting-edge technology.
This year, for the first time, the list is divided into seven
categories: Cloud, Data Center, Security, Big Data,
Networking/VoIP, Internet of Things and Storage.
“We are honored to be named to the CRN Emerging Vendors List,”
said Guy Guzner, Fireglass’ CEO and co-founder. “Fireglass’ Web
Isolation technology is gaining traction in the marketplace,
particularly among Fortune 500 organizations that are looking for
an effective solution that helps stop malware, ransomware and
phishing intrusions. Fireglass’ placement on the CRN Emerging
Tech Vendors list, as well as Symantec’s decision to invest in web
isolation technology to strengthen its Integrated Cyber Defense
Platform, reflect the growing demand for web isolation platforms in
the cybersecurity industry. Further, coupling our innovative
isolation technology with Symantec’s market leading Symantec Web
Gateway (SWG) and email solutions allows this technology to be
broadly deployed, changing the game against cyber attacks at two
major vectors.”
“This impressive group of technology supplier startups is
already disrupting the status quo, aggressively creating and
innovating to meet the ever-changing demands of the IT market,”
said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s 2017
Emerging Vendors represent the next generation of IT change agents,
producing a wide range of leading-edge products that solution
providers should keep an eye on in the coming year and beyond.”
