“We are especially pleased to be included as a leader in the Gartner Security
Awareness CBT Magic Quadrant this year,” stated Rohyt Belani, CEO and Co-Founder,
PhishMe. “We take a more interactive approach to security awareness than the
traditional vendors. PhishMe creates awareness and training materials as part of its
Human Phishing Defense platform, which is designed to modify behavior through
experiential learning and engagement. It’s an approach which has been proven to
reduce the threat of employees falling victim to sophisticated cyberattacks by up to
95 percent.”
PhishMe provides a complete anti-phishing product portfolio that engages both
everyday user and the IT Security response teams. “PhishMe aggressively invests in
new product capabilities and services, which is a critical requirement for any
cybersecurity company,” commented Aaron Higbee, CTO and Co-Founder, PhishMe.
“Hackers are always coming up with new ways to circumnavigate our defenses and the
onus is on security vendors to develop new ways to respond. We believe that Gartner
has recognized PhishMe’s technical innovations and growth in this area.”
To protect against advanced phishing attacks coming from motivated attackers, many
modern enterprises rely on PhishMe - including more than 50 percent of the Fortune
100 - as the foundation of their security programs. This is one more indication of
PhishMe’s leadership in the security industry, along with many other awards and
honors that the company has received, including the most recent accolades from: the
2016 SC Award, 2016 Inc 500/5,000 award, 2016 EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist,
2016 Information Security Products Guide Global Excellence Award, 2016 CDM Infosec
Awards and 2016 Washington Business Journal Best Place to Work Award.
