Dome9 Security Named a Finalist for the 2012 Hot Companies Award by Network Products Guide

SAN MATEO, CA — Dome9 Security™, the leading provider of cloud security firewall management for public and private clouds, as so then as for dedicated and virtual private servers, today announced that Network Products Guide, a leading innovation research and advisory guide, has named Dome9 as a finalist for the 7th Annual 2012 Hot Companies Awards. These industry and peer awards honor achievements and recognitions in every facet of the IT industry. Winners will be honored in Las Vegas on May 8 while the 7th annual dinner and presentations.

Dome9 Security is the only cloud security service to automate cloud firewall management for public and private clouds, as so then as for dedicated and Virtual Private Servers, across all platforms. Dome9 closes a critical gap in today's cloud computing server security -- ports just as SSH, RDP, and MYSQL left open so administrators can connect to and manage their cloud servers. This common practice leaves servers vulnerable to hackers who need only guess the correct username and password or exploit any protocol vulnerability to gain unauthorized control of a server. Dome9 secures all administrative ports -- for all servers and clouds -- enabling secure access, on-demand. Its key technology is the ability to provide secure access leasing -- dynamically generated, time-based secure access to cloud servers -- which enables clients to close all server administrative ports by default.
