Global Organizations’ Demand to Identify Vulnerabilities and Weaknesses in Cyber Infrastructure Elements Drives Extraordinary BreakingPoint Growth

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Feb. 23, 2010 – BreakingPoint confirmed today that the company experienced enormous growth during 2009, realizing revenue growth of 280 percent and marking eight consecutive quarters of record revenues. BreakingPoint products expose previously impossible-to-detect vulnerabilities within cyber-infrastructure elements before they lead to cyber exploitation, theft and acts of terrorism.

BreakingPoint CEO Des Wilson Comments on Global Cyber Attack Pandemic

“Escalating cyber attacks have become a global pandemic, warranting an immediate and urgent response,” said Des Wilson, CEO of BreakingPoint. “Both public and private cyber infrastructures are completely vulnerable to a growing army of criminals targeting customer data, financial systems and national security. In 2009 BreakingPoint saw tremendous growth in helping enterprises, equipment manufacturers and governments protect against these attacks. Our success in the past year is a springboard to what we will be accomplishing in 2010, when BreakingPoint will transform the cybersecurity industry. A new line of BreakingPoint technologies, products and services will revolutionize the way we find infrastructure vulnerabilities before our enemies exploit them and destroy what is most important to us — our identity, our assets, our reputations and our security.”
