Red Herring Magazine announced today that LifeLock has been short listed for the Red Herring 100 Global 2007 Awards.
Red Herring 100 winners and finalists from North America, Europe and Asia of the last three years were eligible for this award. The Red Herring editorial team used a very competitive process to whittle down this pool of 1800 eligible promising companies to the 200 finalists of this first-time award. Evaluations were made on both quantitative and qualitative criteria such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy, and ecosystem integration.
The names of the 200 companies short-listed as finalists for the “Red Herring 100 Global 2007″ can be found online at http://www.herringevents.com/global07/index.html.
“The 200 finalists we selected from around the world are all excellent contenders,” said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. “They are exceptional companies with smart and innovative platforms that attest to the importance of technology in today’s global economy.”
LifeLock has made the final group because of its outstanding achievements, and Red Herring Magazine is honored to announce it is one of the most promising technology firms in the world.

We are extremely proud to be included as a finalist.”
The finalists companies will be celebrated at the Red Herring Global event in Seattle, WA, on December 3-5. The 100 winners will be announced at the Award Ceremony on December 4.
