DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Jun 27, 2013) - Data protection experts BEW Global was selected as a 2013 Colorado Companies to Watch winner. More than 500 companies headquartered in Colorado applied for this prestigious award, from which the top companies were chosen.

"This award symbolizes the amazing growth and success BEW Global has experienced over the past few years, and we are privileged to receive such an honor," said Robert Eggebrecht, BEW Global President/CEO. "I can honestly say BEW Global is the best at helping organizations protect their most critical data assets in the world's ever expanding digital nervous system, and we are continually focused on innovating and improving to keep that market position."

Colorado Companies to Watch honors second stage companies that develop valuable products and services, create quality jobs, enrich communities and create new industries throughout Colorado. The program is different from other awards in that it focuses on the entire state in order to paint a realistic picture of a true statewide economy.

For 11+ years, BEW Global has been helping companies protect their critical assets that are created, used, stored or transmitted electronically. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of managed security services, consulting services, technical services and security assessments combined with the leading security solution vendors. These include: Symantec, RSA ( NYSE : EMC ), Websense ( NASDAQ : WBSN ) and McAfee. What puts BEW Global in a league of its own is its methodology and managed security service offering. BEW Global is the first and only next generation managed security services provider (MSSP) focusing on the content and context of messaging and activity flow throughout the organization's electronic nervous system. This allows clients to quickly identify when their sensitive information is being moved in an unauthorized way. BEW Global's approach encompasses traditional sensitive data elements like credit cards and social security numbers, while also focusing on protecting the organization's most valued critical assets such as next-generation product designs, customer lists and pricing data.

"A lot of traditional network and information security companies look at security in terms of bits and bytes, but we look at it in terms of a company's reputation, competitive advantage, revenue and bottom-line. Today organizations are swimming in data, our services focus on time sensitive, valued data elements that if breached can have the biggest impact on the company's future," said Chuck Bloomquist, BEW Global's Chief Technology Officer.

BEW Global projected a 30% revenue increase year over year from 2012, but after Q1 it has already significantly exceeded its revenue and earnings forecasts. The company has more than quadrupled its staff over the past year, but is scaling and managing its growth to maintain its level of expertise and quality of service. BEW Global's focus for the rest of 2013 encompasses the concepts of quality management by driving for ISO 27001 certification and continued innovation around its various service offerings. The company recently launched BEW LABS with a team of advanced, custom developers that have the capability to write custom applications to enhance the out-of-the-box functionality of the industry's leading data protection solutions. In May, BEW Global also combined its three Denver-area offices into one state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of the Denver Tech Center to spur on greater collaboration and innovation.

"The global electronic nervous system grows larger and more interconnected every second. To protect our customer's most critical assets we must hire smart, innovative and high-integrity people who are interested in 'clock building' rather than 'clock watching,'" Eggrebrecht said. "Combine this caliber of people with the right technology and the sky is the limit for BEW Global. We have a unique culture and team, and we are all vested in building something truly exceptional."
