Kordia Partner RedShield Wins iSANZ Best Security Company

Kordia New Zealand partner RedShield, which specialises in web-application protection, has taken out the award for Best Security Company at the 2016 iSANZ Awards.

RedShield’s win was announced in front of more than 200 guests at a gala dinner, hosted at Mac’s Brewbar in Wellington on November 15.

Murray Goodman, head of product at Kordia, says the win is testament to the innovative solution RedShield provides.

“As the exclusive agent for RedShield in New Zealand and Australia, we’re well placed to comment on just how great this service is. Our customers tell us RedShield is an integral part of their business; and that knowing they have an ‘always on’ web-shielding service gives them peace of mind in knowing they’re protected against the growing number of threats out there.

“We congratulate the RedShield team on a service that’s not just an example of Kiwi innovation, but also innovation on a global scale.”

Andy Prow, CEO and Founder of RedShield, says: “RedShield's goal as a company is to help protect and defend companies from the growing threat of cyber attacks. To do so our expert team is constantly monitoring and tuning the shields in front of our customers' apps which are probed daily. This is a fast paced problem, and we have to react just as fast.

“Winning the iSANZ award is great recognition which we're extremely proud of. I think NZ's cyber-security market has a huge amount to offer globally. This is a multi-billion dollar market, so it's great to see iSANZ backing this niche high-growth Kiwi sector.”

This was the second year of the iSANZ awards, which were established in 2015 to recognise excellence, innovation and leadership in New Zealand’s information security sector.
