Builds On Strong 2015 and Consolidates Leadership Position as the External Threat Management Platform of Choice

SAN FRANCISCO -- April 27, 2016 -- RiskIQ, the leader in External Threat Management, today announced that it has been named one of the “Fast 50” hottest privately held networking and security companies by leading investment bank, JMP Securities. The second annual “Fast 50” list identifies the most visionary security and networking companies that are best positioned to dominate their respective markets.

“2015 was a pivotal year for RiskIQ, and being recognized by JMP Securities reinforces the growth we are experiencing,” said Elias Manousos, CEO of RiskIQ. “Organizations are waking up to the reality that they must adopt online channels in order to stay competitive and succeed. These channels also expose them to significant risk. The world’s leading companies rely on RiskIQ to reduce digital risk and secure their internet facing digital assets as they expand their presence to include web, mobile and social channels.”

In 2015, RiskIQ maintained its momentum to reach the top 2% of security companies in terms of revenue, and doubled its business for the third year in a row. This tremendous growth is based on the company’s commitment to security research and development, and its ability to deliver innovative solutions that help customers discover, monitor and protect their known, unknown and rogue internet facing digital assets.
