For Immediate Release
Skybox SECURITY ANNOUNCES
SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH IN 2007
AND STRONG MOMENTUM GOING INTO 2008
SAN
JOSE, CA – March 10, 2008
– Skybox® Security, Inc., the leader in Security Risk
Management, today announced strong sales momentum for 2007 and a
positive business outlook for 2008. The company posted solid bookings
with both new and existing customers in 2007 and reported growth of 75%
sequentially year over year. In addition, the company expects to turn
profitable and cash flow break-even during 2008.
In early 2007, the company announced Skybox
View® 3.5, the industry’s first modular suite for proactively
identifying IT security risk and compliance
exposures for enterprises, government
agencies, and service providers. The company’s award-winning product
suite is comprised of five products that share a common, scalable
software platform called Skybox View.
Each product can be deployed
independently or combined to solve a variety of business problems.
The installed base for Skybox View surpassed
120 in 2007, demonstrating rapid industry acceptance for the company’s
products. Skybox counts as its customers a “who's who” of the Global
2000 representing some of the most security-conscious enterprises in the
world including Barclays Capital, AstraZeneca, Standard Chartered Bank
and IZB. These organizations have large, complex and globally dispersed
networks in highly-regulated markets including financial services,
banking, insurance, pharmaceutical, retail, government, technology and
telecommunications.
Heading into 2008, the company is well
positioned to deliver on its theme: “Leverage through Partnerships.”
During 2007, Skybox launched a global partnership program. Through this
program, Skybox has developed a variety of go-to-market alternatives to
enable partners to serve a higher percentage of the market including
small-to-medium size businesses. To date, Skybox has assembled an
impressive channel of partners composed of leading Systems Integrators,
Managed Security Services Providers, and Security VARs including
VeriSign, Wipro and British Telecom. These partners resell Skybox
products, provide comprehensive integration services or embed Skybox
technology to deliver innovative new security risk and compliance
products and services powered by Skybox View.
Skybox Security markets two product lines:
Skybox Secure™ and Skybox Assure™ - both supported by a common, scalable
platform called Skybox View. By using Skybox products, enterprises can
protect their hard-earned reputation and irreplaceable brand by
accurately pinpointing and prioritizing high areas of risk and
compliance exposures in minutes. Unlike reactive and expensive to
operate IT Security point products, Skybox products enable organizations
to assess, quantify or analyze security risk and compliance exposures on
a continuous basis as well as automate labor-intensive processes. The
result of using Skybox solutions is a significant savings in time,
people and money with customers often realizing a ROI in months, rather
than years.
