"We started NetWitness to address a critical issue facing both commercial enterprises and the government – one that directly affects America's competitiveness and businesses around the world.

"This recognition by Inc. Magazine of our growing success in the marketplace reflects the innovation of our products and the impact that NetWitness has had in improving the cyber security of our customers."
