SAN FRANCISCO, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexusguard, the Worldwide Leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Security Solutions, announced today the company was recognized at position #42 by the Q2 2015 edition of the Cybersecurity 500. The Cybersecurity 500 list recognizes the world's hottest and most innovative cybersecurity companies.

Predictions from Gartner highlight the negative impact of cybersecurity breaches in the coming years; "Through 2020, security failures will force 50% of digital businesses to negotiate partner contracts to share risk and liability." The analyst firm also states "By 2020, 30% of Global 2000 companies will have been directly compromised by an independent group of cyber activists or cybercriminals."

"Nexusguard is a proven leader who protects corporations, cloud service providers, and government agencies globally from an increasingly hostile community of cybercriminals behind DDoS attacks" says Steve Morgan, founder and CEO at Cybersecurity Ventures, and editor-in-chief of the Cybersecurity Market Report and Cybersecurity 500 list of the world's hottest and most innovative cybersecurity companies.  "Cyber attacks are trending up.  Nexusguard has the technology, leadership, and resources to help companies of all sizes and types to protect themselves against the most dangerous cyber threats," adds Morgan.
