Alert Logic Named a Finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award

Award Recognizes the 100 Most Promising Companies Driving the Future of Technology

HOUSTON, TX - APRIL 28, 2008 - Alert Logic, a leading provider of on demand IT compliance and security solutions, today announced that it has been named a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 most innovative private technology companies based in North America.

The Red Herring editorial board diligently surveyed the entrepreneurial scene throughout the North American region and identified the top 200 out of more than 800 closely evaluated companies that are leading the next wave of innovation.

"We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together," said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the quality of the companies we selected as finalists."

Alert Logic was chosen as a finalist after being evaluated for its financials, business model and management team. Alert Logic's innovative technology, Alert Logic Log Manager and Alert Logic Threat Manager, also played a role in its selection.

"We're one of the only companies today providing security and IT compliance solutions for the mid-market. Our Software-as-a-Service platform puts enterprise-class threat and log management within reach of mid-sized companies, and they benefit from rapid deployment, and zero capital costs and maintenance," said Michael Turner, Alert Logic’s CEO and president. "It is an honor to be recognized for our innovation and we are excited to be a finalist for such a prestigious award as the Red Herring 100."

The 100 winning companies will be announced at the Red Herring North America event. The CEOs of the winning startups will present their innovative ideas and technologies to an audience of leading entrepreneurs, financiers, and corporate strategists at the event in San Jose, California, on May 12-14 at the Fairmont.
