SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Vormetric, a leader in enterprise data security for physical, big data, public, private and hybrid cloud environments, today announced it ranked number 380 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. Vormetric grew 206 percent during this period.

Vormetric's chief executive officer, Alan Kessler, credits the increasing need for enterprises to protect data-at-rest to safeguard their organizations from attacks, meet new contractual requirements from their own customers and fulfill growing compliance mandates, to the company's 206 percent revenue growth.

"With organizations now having to face the reality that they can be penetrated by a determined cyber-attack, and with cloud, big data and SaaS environments adding additional risk, our focus on helping enterprises protect data-at-rest wherever it is stored and accessed is a clear driver for our continued strong growth, and our second year of membership in this elite group," said Alan Kessler, Vormetric's president and chief executive officer. "We also owe our increased standing on the list this year to our incredible customers and to the continued dedication of our employees and partners."

"The companies ranked on the 2014 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 continue to set the bar for their industry higher each year," said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader.
