BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and incident response automation, today announced that its IT Alerting™ solution was selected as a winner of the 2018 Info Security Products Guide Global Excellence Awards® for New Product of the Year. Everbridge was recognized for its cybersecurity response orchestration capabilities as a new emerging provider. The Global Excellence Awards® honors cybersecurity and information technology vendors with advanced, ground-breaking products, solutions and services that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of security and technologies.
In today’s digital world, all companies have become a target for cyber criminals. Every day in the news we learn that businesses have been hit by major cyber events, ranging from DDoS attacks and data breaches to large-scale cyberattacks. These critical events can have a major impact on business operations – contaminating systems, preventing users from using them and costing companies millions. As a result, businesses must deal with a deteriorating brand image and compliance issues, which can negatively impact the company’s stock and have dire financial consequences. Despite this, most organizations still are unprepared to respond in a timely and coordinated manner – and most still rely on manual communication processes such as email. Today’s organizations lack a secondary, off-net secure communication system when their primary one becomes compromised.
Everbridge’s IT Alerting provides businesses with a closed-loop security incident response automation solution, enabling security operations professionals to automatically and efficiently communicate and collaborate with key members of their IT teams, proactively notify impacted business users to minimize damage and keep key stakeholders informed during the incident resolution.
“Companies across the globe turn to Everbridge IT Alerting to help IT teams manage, control and automate the response to security incidents, helping to minimize the impact on their organization,” said Vincent Geffray, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Everbridge. “We are proud to see our unrelenting dedication to customers and their IT needs recognized in this way.”
Leading global enterprises leverage the Everbridge IT Alerting solution to automate their IT response processes across service operations, security Ops and DevOps.
Everbridge was presented with the award at the Info Security Products Guide awards dinner and presentation in San Francisco on April 16, 2018, which was attended by the finalists, judges and industry peers.
