SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 14, 2017 – Malwarebytes, the leading advanced malware prevention and remediation solution, announced today that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Malwarebytes to its annual Security 100 list. This project recognizes the coolest security vendors in each of five categories: Endpoint Security; Identity Management and Data Protection; Network Security; SIEM and Security Analytics; and Web, Email and Application Security. The companies on CRN’s Security 100 list have demonstrated creativity and innovation in product development, as well as a strong commitment to delivering those offerings through a vibrant channel of solution providers.

In addition to recognizing security technology vendors for outstanding products and services, the Security 100 list serves as a valuable guide for solution providers trying to navigate the IT security market.

Malwarebytes was recognized as a leader in the “Endpoint Security” category for its innovative technologies that protect consumers and businesses from the most dangerous cyber threats. Malwarebytes 3.0 employs four dedicated technology layers—anti-malware, anti-ransomware, anti-exploit and malicious website protection—to block and remove both known and unknown, or previously unidentified, threats. This protects consumers against malware, ransomware, exploits and other advanced threats that continually evade antivirus. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac scans for and removes code that degrades performance or attacks your system. For businesses, Malwarebytes Endpoint Security is a protection platform that uses multiple technologies to proactively protect computers against threats. Malwarebytes Breach Remediation offers advanced threat detection and remediation for enterprise computers, including Macs.

“In an age of cyberattacks and heightened concerns about cybercrime against businesses of all sizes, protecting data has become a top priority, and security solutions are in higher demand than ever,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s annual Security 100 list honors the expert technology suppliers at the forefront of this thriving field, and supports solution providers in their search for the right vendor partners to help them leverage the rich business opportunities it offers.”
