Industry and customer recognition

• Netwrix was selected as a finalist in the "Best SME Security Solution" and "Best Risk Management/Regulatory Compliance Solution" categories for the 2017 SC Magazine Awards Europe.

• Netwrix released a series of infographics based on the results of its 2016 Cloud Security Survey, which unveiled the key cloud security concerns of the government, financial, healthcare and education industries.

"The global security trends that drive the IT industry today are primarily associated with rapid response to cyber threats and risk mitigation," said Michael Fimin, CEO and co-founder of Netwrix. "Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated, which makes organizations that store and process large volumes of sensitive customer data (such as healthcare, consumer goods, retail and banking institutions) extremely vulnerable to security risks. The increase in headline-making data breaches forces these companies to seek new ways to safeguard their businesses against growing cyber threats. As a result, we expect a surge of interest in solutions that enable organizations to gain strict control over user behavior and protect confidential data against exfiltration and misuse."
