Market Leader in Mobile Security Drives Change Through Innovation to Safely Extend Enterprise Information to Mobile Environments

Dallas, Texas – December 6, 2004 – The editors of Red Herring, the premier magazine of business technology and innovation, have named CREDANT Technologies, the market leader in providing software that enables organizations to control security enterprise-wide for mobile workers, to its prestigious list of Top 100 Innovators. CREDANT Technologies was among 100 companies selected by the magazine’s editorial team out of more than 1,200 submissions. This year’s selection was based on the evaluation of companies that embody innovation, technology and strategy in the following seven categories: Technology, Financing, Marketing, Sales, Service, Leadership, and Business Strategy.

“We are honored to receive recognition from Red Herring for our technology contributions to mobile security, and feel privileged to be included in this select group of innovative companies who have also been named as winners,” said Bob Heard, president and CEO, CREDANT Technologies. “Innovation, one of the core components of our business strategy, propelled us to the market leadership position. The credit goes to all of CREDANT’s employees who went the extra mile to make this happen, and to our customers and partners, whose input and support were invaluable.”

“Selection for the Innovation 100 puts a company in an elite group. The editors worked hard to identify the companies who will benefit from the important technology trends in the coming year.” said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring.

Since 1996, Red Herring editors have selected a group of public and private companies that have made their mark with critical contributions to the industry. The Red Herring Top 100 Innovators is not merely a list of companies with attractive financials, but a thorough sifting of ones that have made significant breakthroughs in technology, marketing, sales, service, financing, or human relations. The editors used a careful analysis of financial data as well as subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. Red Herring’s unique approach of using both qualitative measurements and quantitative business metrics to assess a company’s potential sets it apart from other lists.
