Alert Logic, a leading provider of on-demand IT compliance and security solutions to mid-sized organizations, today announced that it has won a Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 most innovative private technology companies based in North America. Alert Logic was presented with the award at the Red Herring North America event on May 13, 2008 in San Jose, California.
From a quick glance, it looks like Alert Logic is the only Houston-based company, which is not as much of a surprise as the fact that the majority of Red Herring 100 winners are usually culled from California. I used to work at a Red Herring 100 company back in the day when Red Herring was also in print; that, along with $8 will get you a decent buzz at Supercuts. Nothing against the team over at Alert Logic, who I think are doing a bang up job; it’s just that Red Herring used to be relevant but has basically failed to adapt and has become a remnant of an older bubble time.
Kudos to Misha and his team who are kicking a$$ and taking names. Keep your eyes on this company to be one of many Houston stars that shine on the global stage. Knowing where most award winners end up, this company is going places.
