(Redwood City, Calif. - February 6, 2015) – Moka5, the leading provider of next generation end-user computing container solutions, today announced it had placed second in a comprehensive new ranking of cybersecurity technology vendors conducted by Cybersecurity Ventures of Menlo Park.

Cybersecurity 500 Rankings

Cybersecurity Ventures selected thousands of potential companies for inclusion in the report by soliciting feedback from CISOs and end-user security practitioners, and analyzing dozens of Cybersecurity news sources” said Steve Morgan, founder and CEO of Cybersecurity Ventures.

Unlike other vendor rankings, Cybersecurity Ventures 500 did not rank entrants by revenues, employees, or annual growth. “We didn’t think a list of the largest cybersecurity companies would be very useful to our target audience of cyber and IT security decision makers, evaluators, and recommenders” said Morgan. “They already know who the biggest vendors are”.

The selection criteria for the Cybersecurity 500 ranked companies includes some or all of the following when evaluating each company:

• Cybersecurity Sector (market category)
• Problem(s) Solved
• Customer Base
• Feedback from CISOs and Decision Makers
• Feedback from IT Security Evaluators & Recommenders
• Feedback from VARs, SIs and Consultants
• VC Funding
• Company Growth
• Published Product Reviews
• Demos and Presentations at Conferences
• Corporate Marketing and Branding
• Media Coverage
• Notable Implementations
• Founder and Management Pedigree

“Moka5 has been at the forefront of the new enterprise end-point security and management market through our industry leading client-side containers,” said Dave Robbins, CEO, Moka5. “Enterprise IT is moving towards true platform independence for client computing and Moka5 has been laser focused on enabling that shift by delivering a vastly simpler and more logical security and management model that reflects how users interact with data, services, and applications in the real world,” added Robbins. “We are gratified that groups like CyberSecurity Ventures are moving beyond conventional approaches to embrace more innovative approaches - that as the recent hacking of Anthem reminds us, has never been more critical.”
