SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Centrify, the leader in securing enterprise identities against cyberthreats, today announced that it has been named a Bronze Stevie® Award winner in the Company of the Year – Business Services category in the 14th annual American Business Awards.
The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.
“It’s an honor that Centrify has been selected as a Bronze winner in the Company of the Year – Business Services category,” said Bill Mann, chief product officer for Centrify. “It’s a testament to our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that strengthen security, enhance compliance and improve user productivity.

Centrify also launched Centrify Privilege Service, the industry’s first cloud-based identity management solution that addresses the growing gap in security, visibility and control over privileged accounts. Additionally, Centrify became the first identity vendor to deliver broad and comprehensive support for Google for Work.
