FULTON, Md., July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ReFirm Labs, a provider of the industry's first proactive IoT and firmware security solutions, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named ReFirm Labs to its 2019 Emerging Vendors list in the Security category. The annual list honors recently founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers that prioritize technological innovation and shape the IT channel's future.
CRN recognized ReFirm Labs for its Centrifuge Platform® that is the first proactive solution that monitors the firmware that runs thousands of IoT devices, consumer electronics and connected enterprise machines. Without requiring access to source code, the cloud-based platform identifies hidden threats like zero-day vulnerabilities and backdoor passwords in under thirty minutes, and has been proven to increase productivity for security teams while reducing the number of breaches on internet-connected devices.
"We're excited to be honored by CRN as a top Emerging Vendor," said Robbie Robbins, vice president of sales and business development for ReFirm Labs. "We look forward to continuing our rapid growth and working with more and more MSSPs and resellers and their customers to help them manage the security of their IoT devices with our Centrifuge Platform that proactively vets, validates and continuously monitors the security of firmware."
CRN's Emerging Vendors list honors technology suppliers driving innovation across the IT channel. It also provides a valuable resource for solution providers looking to incorporate cutting-edge technology into their portfolios. Emerging Vendors are vetted and selected by CRN's editorial team. They provide state-of-the-art technology to help solution providers meet complex IT market demands, achieve bottom-line results, and deliver best-in-class offerings.
"CRN's 2019 Emerging Vendors list recognizes new, rapidly growing vendors that are making significant IT channel contributions," said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. "It honors groundbreaking vendors that provide sophisticated technology to drive channel growth — and remain committed to ongoing innovation to shape the channel for years to come."
