root9B Remains #1 on the Cybersecurity 500 for 4th Consecutive Quarter

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to remaining #1 on the Cybersecurity 500 for Q4 and the entirety of 2016, root9B's Chief Executive Officer Eric Hipkins issued the following statement:

"The root9B team is very excited and humbled to be listed yet again as the #1 company on the Cybersecurity 500 for the 4^th Quarter in a row.  root9B continues to be recognized as a leader and pioneer in the Manned Information Security and Adversary Pursuit Operations (HUNT) market.

"We continue to see growing acceptance of our unique approach to network defense which leverages our proprietary HUNT platform, credential risk mitigation technology, and unmatched training curriculum to provide the next generation in cybersecurity."

"root9B continues to impress the information security community with its world class team of cyber operators in the U.S. and internationally," said Steve Morgan, founder and Editor-In-Chief at Cybersecurity Ventures. "Our editors have selected root9B as the No. 1 firm on the Cybersecurity 500 list of the world's hottest and most innovative cybersecurity companies for the fourth consecutive quarter in Q4 2016. The biggest challenge faced by CISOs at large enterprises and government agencies is a severe cyber workforce shortage. They can barely keep up with risk, compliance, and cyber defense strategies.  root9B supplements its clients with HUNT teams who proactively seek out and take down the cyber perpetrators who are dwelling in networks for weeks and months at a time, wreaking unknown havoc until they are caught. The combination of their personnel and the world-class Adversary Pursuit Center which provides 24 / 7 /365 outsourced cyber defense services, has led root9B to sign new contracts and continued scaling of their business," added Morgan.

root9B is a wholly-owned subsidiary of root9B Technologies (OTCQB: RTNB), a leading provider of cybersecurity and regulatory risk mitigation services.
