New York, September 26, 2018—SINET announced the recipients of the 2018 SINET 16 Innovator Award, which recognizes sixteen early stage and emerging technology companies poised to make an impact on cybersecurity and major industries. 100 industry experts judging the competition determined that Avanan distinguished itself from hundreds of global applicants. Representing the U.S., Canada, and Switzerland, winners were selected based on the advantages, success, and urgency of their security solutions in the market.
“We came to market at a time when there was accelerated use of the cloud and unprecedented concern for privacy and security,” says Michael Landewe, Avanan’s cofounder and VP of Business Development. “Because we protect the cloud from within, we are the first to solve the problem of the insider threat, inside the cloud. We are in a unique place to protect against today’s threats.”
Avanan will be presenting its solution at the SINET Showcase, on November 7-8, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
