Avecto Achieves Record-Breaking Growth & Widespread Industry Recognition in 2010
Boston MA & Manchester UK
Avecto the world leader in Windows privilege management, today
announced record-breaking year end results for 2010 with annual
revenue up by 300%.
Additionally, worldwide sales of new Privilege Guard licences
quadrupled, the company signed its first $1M customer, launched
24/7 customer support, expanded strategic partnerships to include
HP, CSC and IBM and its award winning Privilege Guard solution was
voted 'Best Security Product' by Windows IT Pro industry
experts.
Tony Bolland, Avecto CEO said "2010 was a great year for Avecto,
and despite tough market conditions globally, we achieved
exceptional customer adoption and widespread industry
recognition. Windows 7 has now reached just over 20% of the
worldwide market and, as the roll-out of this latest Microsoft
operating system (OS) continues, organizations need to plan for the
security features of Windows 7 and strive to achieve the least risk
Windows 7 desktop. We are committed to delivering the highest
levels of customer service and support, and ensuring that Privilege
Guard continues to exceed market expectations."
When Oxford University Press (OUP), the largest university press
in the world, implemented their policy of least privilege using
Privilege Guard as part of their Windows 7 deployment, Gavin
Wilson, Senior Support Analyst from OUP stated, "Avecto have
provided us with excellent support, not just for the product, but
they have gone beyond implementation and given us some of the best
advice we have ever experienced. We are confident we made the right
decision in choosing them to help roll-out our least privilege
strategy". Jeff Douglas, senior advisor for Infrastructure Services
at National Government Services, noted "Privilege Guard support has
been the best part of our experience!"
Avecto's Privilege Guard has been adopted by organizations in
all major industry verticals including Banking and Finance,
Government, Defence, Pharmaceutical, Education, Publishing, Energy,
Telecoms and Aerospace, as well as many more, enabling customers to
give their Windows desktop users the flexibility they require while
optimizing the security posture of the internal networks through
granular privilege management.
