Arxan Named Winner of the Future 50 Award by Washington SmartCEO Magazine

Software IP Protection Leader Named Fast Growing Company in Greater Washington Area

Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) January 17, 2008 -- Arxan Technologies, a leading provider of application hardening solutions designed to protect software IP from piracy and tampering, today announced that Washington SmartCEO Magazine, a regional growing company publication, has named Arxan as a winner of their Future 50 Award. The Future 50 program recognizes the 50 fastest growing companies in the Greater Washington area based on employee and revenue growth. Already an established leader in software intellectual property (IP) protection, Arxan was selected as a Future 50 winner based on its rapid expansion and continued revenue growth.

Arxan's GuardIT™ offering provides durable, comprehensive IP protection for software without adversely affecting application performance or the software development process itself. Arxan's technology can be deployed quickly via a binary-based solution that is not intrusive and supports existing release schedules within an organization's Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Through an interconnected mesh of small security units called Guards scattered across a compiled binary and then dissolved into the application, Arxan's protection deeply fortifies the overall software product against piracy, tampering, reverse engineering or other forms of attack.

"The Future 50 Awards are rooted in a deep commitment toward celebrating local companies who have illustrated a clear dedication to driving their organization forward and setting the highest standards of success," said Craig Burris, publisher of SmartCEO. "We congratulate these companies and are honored to share in their achievement."

"SmartCEO's acknowledgment of Arxan as a foremost technology provider in our region reaffirms our commitment toward setting and surpassing the level of excellence we set for ourselves and which we extend to our employees and customers," said Mike Dager, CEO of Arxan. "We are privileged to win this award and pleased it recognizes our position as a market leader in the software IP protection space."
