Boston - November 29, 2005 - Rapid7 today announces that it has been named a finalist in the 2006 SC Awards. Finalists were chosen by the readers of SC Magazine. Rapid7 is competing for the Reader Technology Trust Award in the category of Best Vulnerability Assessment. The award winner will be named at the SC Awards ceremony, to be held at a formal dinner during the RSA Conference on February 14, 2006 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California.
"We are thrilled to be short listed for the prestigious SC Awards," said Alan Matthews, president of Rapid7 LLC. "It's gratifying to be recognized for our team's efforts to provide a robust, reliable and flexible solution that helps companies monitor and protect their networks."
With over 1,300 product and service nominations from over 330 competing companies globally, the SC Awards are the world's leading awards program for the information security industry. The SC Awards program spans US, Asia, and UK. The SC Awards are composed of both the Reader Trust Technology Awards-voted on by SC readers in each region and the SC Awards Council, a group of carefully selected senior CSOs - and the Professional Awards that are judged by a panel of the industry's top talents.
Recognizing technical excellence and professional achievement across a variety of different categories, the SC Awards is a truly unique program developed to bring attention to the industry's top products and highlight the professionals that have both created them and use them within their companies. These industry achievements are acknowledged during the exciting US Awards ceremony taking place this year at the Fairmont, San Jose on February 14th, 2006.
