TraceCSO is the industry's first cloud solution for a holistic and risk-based information security program that delivers comprehensive visibility and accountability for improved risk and compliance profiles across all areas of an organization, including cloud environments. TraceCSO allows organizations of any size, industry or security skill set to evaluate, create, implement and manage a comprehensive risk-based information security program, to protect their organizations from today's top information security risks, including cloud security and "bring your own device" (BYOD) concerns. An annual achievements and recognition awards program with active participation from a broad spectrum of industry voices, the coveted annual Hot Companies and Best Products recognition program encompasses the world's best in organizational performance, products and services, executives and management teams, successful deployments, product management and engineering, support and customer satisfaction, and public relations in every area of information technology. "It's an honor to be named a finalist by Network Products Guide for this esteemed industry and peer award," said Dariel LeBoeuf, TraceSecurity EVP of Sales and Marketing. "This further validates our 2012 launch of TraceCSO and positions TraceSecurity to continue its growth by delivering innovative solutions to underserved markets."
