ATLANTA, June 7, 2011 — Mobile Active Defense (M.A.D.), The Smartphone Security Company, has been named as one of the 2011 OnMobile 100 Top Private Companies by AlwaysOn's editorial team that includes such prestigious names as Morgan Stanley, Hewlett-Packard, Blackstone Group and industry experts across the world in the category of Enterprise Applications.
M.A.D. Partners was selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz. The OnMobile 100 places M.A.D. Partners as one of the top emerging companies that are transforming big industry by creating innovative business models for the mobile marketplace. M.A.D. Partners was selected as one of only a handful of mobile security companies that have aggressively entered into the mobile space, and created solutions that will open up the industry and lead to huge value-creation opportunities.
According to Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn, "This explosive market is being driven by the companies that made this year's OnMobile Top 100 list. We congratulate the OnMobile 100, a great list of companies that our editors believe represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace."
Mobile Active Defense, with its Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security (MECS) Server solution, extends existing enterprise and network security policies across mobile platforms with device lock-down, always-on CA-based and enforced VPN encryption, granular policy driven firewall controls that automatically adjust based upon the physical location of the mobile device and a suite of content filtering and device management tools, anti-virus and malware eradication. The patent-pending Application Access Control™ (AAC) detects known hostile apps and "apps behaving badly" on the device. In addition to the jailbreaking detection and automatic remediation processes, the MECS server offers the most comprehensive mobile security available today.
"We are extremely honored to receive this prestigious award," said Rob Smith, CTO of Mobile Active Defense, upon receiving the news. "Smartphones, pads and tablets represent a new paradigm of compliance challenges for the enterprise security professional – old methods don't work. This award validates our strategy and approach to securing these devices as the best protection on the market helping our customers tackle today's pressing security challenges."
Winners of this competition will be officially honored at the OnMobile 2011 Venture Summit on June 15th, in Redwood City, CA.
