Award Recognizes the 100 Most Promising Companies Driving the Future of Technology

Alert Logic, a leading provider of on-demand IT compliance and security solutions to mid-sized organizations, today announced that it has won a Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 most innovative private technology companies based in North America. Alert Logic was presented with the award at the Red Herring North America event on May 13, 2008 in San Jose, California.

Red Herring’s annual lists of top private companies are an important part of the company’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work.

Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 800 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.

“The large number of entries in this year’s competition demonstrates that the economic slowdown has not affected technology innovation,” said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. “The companies on this year’s list are proof that creative ideas continue to find the funding that turns them into promising businesses.”

“It is an honor to be recognized by Red Herring for both our technology innovation and business performance,” said Michael Turner, Alert Logic’s president and CEO. “By providing our customers with the easiest to own security and IT compliance solutions, we will continue to attain our business objectives and technical excellence – the hallmarks of this Red Herring award.”
