BOSTON, MASS., November 7, 2019 — Bitsight, the Standard in Security Ratings, today announced it ranks #246 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ list of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. Bitsight grew 447% during the fiscal period between 2015 and 2018.
Bitsight’s Chief Executive Officer, Tom Turner, credits product and service innovation, a strong leadership team, and heightening recognition of the importance of cyber risk management and security performance among C-suite and Board-level executives with driving increasing adoption of the Bitsight Security Ratings Platform.
"Organizations across the board are growing increasingly aware that reputation, financial performance, customer trust and loyalty, and future success are predicated on their security performance,” said Turner. “Strong security performance starts with having an effective risk management strategy rooted in continuous performance monitoring and measurement. Bitsight Security Ratings provide the objective, real-time, measurable insights into security performance that organizations need to meet stakeholders’ growing security expectations and take their businesses to new heights – and earning a spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list is a testament to the need for our solutions and our market leadership.”
“This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, so we are especially pleased to announce and congratulate the 2019 winners,” said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP, and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. “Once again, we saw innovation across the board, with software companies continuing their dominance of the top ten. It’s always inspiring to see how the Fast 500 companies are transforming business and the world we live and work in.”
“As technology innovation trends towards ‘everything as a service,’ it’s no surprise that software companies dominate the winners list yet again this year,” said Mohana Dissanayake, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications, within Deloitte’s audit and assurance practice. “What’s exciting about celebrating 25 years of the Tech Fast 500 is we now have a quarter century of innovation stories to draw and reflect upon. These are the companies that push boundaries, help organizations become more efficient and productive, and ultimately enable businesses to drive growth and revenue. We congratulate all the well-deserving winners.”
