PacketSled Recognized by SC Media as a Finalist for Best Computer Forensic Solution

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Jan. 24, 2019 - PRLog -- PacketSled, the leading Network Monitoring and Threat Intelligence platform, has been recognized as a Trust Award finalist in the Best Computer Forensic Solution category for the 2019 SC Awards. The finalists and winners for the Trust Awards are chosen by an expert panel of judges with extensive knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity industry. Winners will be announced at the SC Awards ceremony on March 5, 2019 in San Francisco.

"Every new year brings with it an unpredictable mix of adversity and opportunity for information security professionals," said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. "In 2018, we watched as ransomware took down entire city governments, popular online platforms were accused of mishandling user data, and technology giants announced an unprecedented industry-wide effort to solve the Spectre and Meltdown CPU vulnerabilities. Through it all, this year's SC Awards finalists found ways to break boundaries, overcome challenges and contribute fresh new ideas to the world of cybersecurity."

"We are honored to be recognized for the third consecutive year in this category by SC Magazine," said Dr. Igor Mezic, CTO at PacketSled. "We have a big year ahead of us in terms of launching more innovative, AI-driven capabilities in our platform."

PacketSled empowers organizations with an AI-driven platform that delivers network monitoring, network forensics and incident response. In the face of countless external network security threats and the vulnerability most organizations feel towards insider attacks (ninety percent according to one study), PacketSled's context-aware AI rapidly identifies potential threats to critical data systems before significant damage is done.

PacketSled also was recently honored by SC Media with inclusion in its annual Innovators special, which calls out top cybersecurity technologies. As part of the 2018 Innovators special, which is produced by the SC Lab product reviews team, the company also was entered in the "Hall of Fame" after having been named an Innovator by SC Media three years in a row.

"In a vast sea of security solutions and services, the Trust Award finalists stand out for their cutting-edge, high-quality features and user-friendly policies," added Armstrong of SC Media. "PacketSled has emerged as true leader in its space and has earned this honor."

Now in its 22nd year, SC Awards is recognized as the industry gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products and services. With the awards, SC Media recognizes the achievements of cybersecurity professionals in the field, the innovations happening in the vendor and service provider communities, and the vigilant work of government, commercial and nonprofit entities.
