ValiMail selected As Finalist For MIT Sloan CIO Symposium's Innovation Showcase

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The 14th annual MIT Sloan CIO Symposium today announced ValiMail as one of the ten Finalists for the 2017 Innovation Showcase. ValiMail's automated, cloud-based email authentication platform was selected for the strategic value and innovative solution it offers to the digital enterprise. ValiMail will receive key exposure to many of the world's most creative and influential IT executives at the Symposium on May 24, 2017.

"We are thrilled to be recognized as one of ten outstanding early stage companies with cutting edge solutions to help Enterprise IT," said ValiMail CEO and co-founder Alexander García-Tobar. "Our goal is to authenticate the world's communications, starting with email, and it's an honor to be able to showcase the efficacy of our solution to such a distinguished group."

In the absence of authentication, it's trivial for attackers to send email that impersonates your organization.  As a result, phishing attacks continue to wreak havoc and rack up huge costs for enterprises.  At the same time, the rapid rise of cloud services has brought an explosion of new email senders, causing companies to lose visibility and control over the email sent on their behalf.  Email authentication, based on globally supported standards, provides an immediate and effective solution that stops impersonation attacks and also provides complete visibility and control over your extended email ecosystem – including "shadow email" senders.  ValiMail's innovative, cloud-based platform automates email authentication, enabling enterprises to regain control of their email infrastructures and protect their employees, customers, partners and brands.

"It is with great honor that we recognize these 10 companies for our 2017 Innovation Showcase," said Anton Teodorescu, Co-Chair of the Innovation Showcase. "The Symposium provides an opportune environment for these early-stage companies to form valuable partnerships with CIOs and a platform to demonstrate their technologies that are building the digital enterprise."

After careful consideration, the Innovation Showcase Judges evaluated and selected ValiMail for this honor based on four important criteria:

• Have a B2B or B2C enterprise IT solution product in the market;
• Are selling enterprise IT solutions to CIOs or corporate IT departments; and
• Show innovation and/or strategic value and potential impact on the top and/or bottom lines.
