Damballa Named a CRN Emerging Technology Vendor

ATLANTA—July 21, 2010— Damballa Inc., the company transforming the fight against cyber threats, today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Technology Vendor.  The annual list recognizes companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology. As the pioneering leader in botnet and targeted cybercrime protection, Damballa understands the full breadth of these threats and detects and terminates botnet activity that evades anti-malware solutions. 

Damballa detects and terminates botnet, advanced persistent threat (APT), and other crime ware activity that relies on network-based command-and-control (CnC) to commit fraud, steal confidential information, and use compromised systems for criminal attacks against other organizations. Damballa identifies and stops malicious network activity without disrupting employee productivity or legitimate communications.

The vendors that make up the CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list were founded in 2004 or later, have revenue under $1.0 billion and have an active U.S. channel strategy. Final selection to the Emerging Technology Vendor list was made by the CRN editorial team after a review of submitted information.
