Several key offerings and service features have contributed significantly to Vigilant's growth.

This service, and Vigilant's other SIEM solutions, are underpinned by Fulcrum Framework™, a library of pre-built use cases that simplifies the process of designing and deploying SIEM to achieve multiple compliance and security program objectives. Vigilant also recently launched their Collective Threat Intelligence™ feed service, which aggregates dozens of threat intelligence sources, and executes rigorous data validation and enrichment routines to ensure rapid, accurate detection of malicious activity impacting the corporate infrastructure.

"We are honored to receive national recognition for our impressive growth over the past five years, which is a testament to the dedication and talent of our employees," said Alison Andrews, CEO of Vigilant. "In today's complex networking landscape, it's harder than ever for large organizations to efficiently manage the basics of IT security - and even harder to protect themselves against targeted cyber-attacks. Enterprises are seeking actionable security solutions that measurably lower IT-related risk and secure critical business assets. We will continue to provide innovative solutions that address our clients' top concerns."
