SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --WhiteHat Security, the Web security company, today announced that it has been chosen as one of the AlwaysOn Global 250 winners.  Inclusion in the AlwaysOn Global 250 signifies game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players in the Global Silicon Valley. WhiteHat Security was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

This recognition is a reflection of the tireless efforts and dedication of WhiteHat Security employees who work hard everyday to protect our customers and ultimately make the web a safer place."

"The enterprise world has endured a long ramp-up to the cloud as well as finally accepting that mobile is here to stay. Now, businesses are demanding even more robust, secure applications with which to run their operations—anytime, anywhere," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn.
