SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyphort, the next generation Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) defense company, announced today that Cyphort’s Advanced Threat Defense Platform won the Excellence Award for ‘Best Enterprise Security Solution’ at the SC Awards 2016. The award was presented during the 19th annual SC Awards Gala on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 and comes on the heels of Cyphort receiving the “Rookie Security Company of the Year” honor at the SC Awards gala in 2015.
“It is an extreme honor to win ‘Best Enterprise Security Solution’ at the SC Awards 2016,” says Manoj Leelanivas, president and CEO of Cyphort. “This is the second year in a row that Cyphort’s next generation solution has won an excellence award and honors like this are a continued testament to our unique technology and dedicated team.”

During the judging process, each finalist went through a rigorous evaluation that included in-depth analysis, analyst reports and/or product reviews. After a thorough and comprehensive analysis of each finalist's strengths, Cyphort was chosen as the winner in the ‘Best Enterprise Security Solution’ category.
“From advanced hacks to massive malvertising campaigns to a host of ransomware variations, 2015 showed that once again, cybercriminals are upping their game when it comes to exploiting today’s businesses,” said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Magazine. “As a winner in the Excellence Award category, Cyphort proved their ability to execute comprehensive security measures to protect the enterprise from data-stealing attacks.”
