Centripetal Networks Named SINET 16 Innovator for 2017

HERNDON, Va., Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Centripetal Networks, the first company in the cybersecurity market to fully operationalize and automate threat intelligence at scale, today announced it has been recognized as a SINET 16 Innovator winner for 2017. #SINET16

SINET receives hundreds of applications every year for this prestigious award from innovative companies worldwide, but only the top 16 most innovative companies are named winners by the SINET Steering Committee of over 100 industry experts. Centripetal's CEO Steven Rogers will present on behalf of Centripetal on November 9(th), joining all 2017 winners at the SINET Showcase in Washington D.C. All companies presenting will have a chance to secure a capital investment of up to $100,000 from SixThirty CYBER, a business development venture fund.

"We're honored to receive this distinguished recognition by SINET this year," said Steven Rogers, CEO, Centripetal. "We know the selection process is complicated, and the criteria is stringent. However, we are thrilled SINET sees the true innovation in what Centripetal is bringing to market by way of operationalizing threat intelligence for any size company for real-time, intelligence-led protection."

Security teams aren't just overwhelmed by the rapidly expanding threat surface they face - they have too many legacy tools focused on signature-based detection, and they can't apply enough threat intelligence to live inbound or outbound traffic to turn intelligence into action. The industry has acknowledged this challenge in the SOC, and Centripetal is solving this problem in delivering the one true threat intelligence gateway to the market at-large. Its CleanINTERNET intelligence-led service is helping teams filter bad traffic and prevent threats with intelligence by applying upwards of 7 million complex IOC rules across 70+ sources and 3,000 unique feeds.

"Congratulations to Centripetal for being selected as a SINET 16 Innovator," said Robert D. Rodriguez, Chairman of SINET. "Every year the competition continues to be more competitive than previous years and we are excited to announce that Centripetal will have an opportunity to present on stage at the SINET Showcase. SINET believes that one of the best ways to advance innovation is to increase awareness that technologies exist to better society."
