ThreatMetrix Named to OnCloud Top 100 Private Companies and CEO to Speak at OnCloud 2015 Summit
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2015 -- ThreatMetrix®, the fastest-growing provider of context-based security and advanced fraud prevention solutions, today announced its CEO, Reed Taussig, will serve as a keynote speaker and participate in a panel at AlwaysOn’s OnCloud 2015 summit in San Mateo, Calif. on Feb. 26.
Hosted annually in the heart of Silicon Valley at the College of San Mateo, OnCloud brings together the brightest minds and top entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate players in the business-to-business application and cloud infrastructure space to discuss and debate the future of cloud technology.
Taussig’s keynote presentation on security in the cloud, entitled, “Global Shared Intelligence: The Best Solution to Combat Cybercrime,” will take place at 11:30 a.m. PST. During this presentation, he will provide an overview of the current cybercrime landscape, citing examples from ThreatMetrix’s comprehensive solution, the ThreatMetrix TrustDefender™ Cybercrime Protection Platform, which has been successful in discovering and defeating organized crime rings by leveraging the power of the ThreatMetrix® Global Trust Intelligence Network (The Network). Taussig will also participate in a panel alongside host Aditya Singh, partner at Foundation Capital and co-panelist Barmak Meftah, president and CEO at AlienVault, entitled, “The New Frontier in Cloud Infrastructure,” at 11:45 a.m. PST.
“The global cybercrime landscape is constantly evolving to include new, more sophisticated threats and the only way to combat these threats is through collective intelligence,” said Taussig. “This isn’t a threat any business or consumer can fight alone. It requires a collective network that leverages data from across a global information base. I’m honored to share what ThreatMetrix has accomplished in the fight against cybercrime by leveraging global shared intelligence with this year’s OnCloud attendees. The OnCloud summit hosts key industry players who can help to make shared intelligence an industry standard.”
ThreatMetrix was also recently included in the 2015 OnCloud Top 100 private companies list. The annual list honors companies in the B2B applications, management tools, security and infrastructure sectors that are rising to the challenge of bringing the world’s businesses and enterprises into the cloud. This year’s OnCloud 100 companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz. A full list of the OnCloud Top 100 winners is available here.
“The OnCloud Top 100 honors companies that take big data and create useful, actionable intelligence from it to make high-powered decisions,” said Taussig. “In the case of ThreatMetrix and The Network, such decisions have the power to stop cybercriminals in real time. ThreatMetrix leverages data from the largest shared intelligence network available to make immediate and educated decisions to differentiate between authentic and fraudulent transactions. Being named to OnCloud’s Top 100 private companies list serves as validation of our continued innovation in advanced fraud prevention and context-based authentication.”
