"Sequestration has put tremendous pressure on a cyberdefense team that is already bending under the weight of determined attackers, and increasing complexity," said FireMon President and Chief Technology Officer Jody Brazil. "We need to empower IT staff with the tools to drive the highest levels of efficiency and effectiveness in cyberdefense infrastructure, so that they can not only accommodate and manage response to current threats, but also mount an active defense against the next wave. We are honored to be recognized as a contributor in securing our nation, and hope that awareness of our advanced technology leads to a greater emphasis on optimizing current assets for greater security."
