Core Security, a leader in vulnerability, access risk management, and network detection and response, announced that it received Frost & Sullivan's 2017 Global Technology Leadership Award for Network Threat Protection Solutions. Core Security was recognized for its Actionable Insight & Response Platform solution, which provides customers insight into their network security, identity and access control systems, and vulnerabilities in their infrastructure in one comprehensive platform, while aggregating and monitoring all three security aspects in real time to identify potential threats and attack patterns.

According to Frost & Sullivan, Core Security's key differentiator lies in its reliance on identity as the core of its insights and analysis—allowing for surgically precise actions to stop an attack without completely interrupting a customer's business activity. No other threat prevention solution can act on attacks through the identity layer, positioning Core Security far ahead of competing solutions.

"By bringing together a customer's network security, identity and access control, and its threat vulnerability identifications programs, Core Security's Actionable Insight and Response Platform helps to easily analyze data and identify potential threats before they can impact operations," said Danielle VanZandt, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "This minimizes the effect on business operations and halts major attacks."

"Receiving a Frost & Sullivan 2017 Global Technology Leadership Award reflects our commitment of providing customers with a comprehensive and holistic approach to security," said David Earhart, CEO of Core Security. "Organizations must secure and manage access to corporate data and ensure continuous availability of enterprise applications and services while navigating through today's dynamic threat landscape. Our solutions enable enterprise customers to monitor identity, access, authentication, threat, network detection and response, and vulnerabilities."

Frost & Sullivan's Technology Leadership Award recognizes companies that lead the development and successful introduction of high-tech solutions to customers' most pressing needs, altering the industry or business landscape in the process. For the Technology Leadership Award, Frost & Sullivan analysts independently evaluated two key factors—Technology Leverage and Business Impact.
