Virsec, a cybersecurity company delivering a radically new approach to protect against advanced cyberattacks, today announced that it has been awarded nine Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, including Gold for Application Security, Runtime Application Protection, and Best Solutions for the Government and Manufacturing Sectors, and honors as the coveted Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company.
The award-winning Virsec Security Platform is the first solution to combine advanced CI/CD application testing with continuous monitoring during runtime, delivering unprecedented accuracy, time savings, and real-world attack prevention. Virsec is unique in protecting applications from the inside across the full application stack at the web, memory, and host levels. Patented AppMap™ technology maps and enforces the control flow integrity of code as it executes, detecting and stopping attacks within milliseconds. Virsec proactively stops malicious code from executing within an application, without relying on exploit signatures, heuristics or behavioral rules.
Rajiv Singh, SVP Global Cybersecurity for Tech Mahindra, said: “We have been working closely with Virsec for a year, won marquee customers, and just announced our global partnership. We understand why Virsec has dominated in so many important award categories. These awards echo what we’ve heard from our customers in telecom, ICS, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and others. They believe Virsec is a game-changer for protecting their most critical applications – their crown jewels.”
Paul Forney, Chief Security Architect for Schneider Electric, said: “I’ve been working closely with Virsec and these awards are well deserved, recognizing how powerful their technology is. Virsec’s unique control flow integrity protects critical applications at the deepest levels of process memory – stopping attacks like ROP chain, fileless, buffer overflows and other sophisticated attack techniques.”
