Some of the world’s most prestigious companies are using Venafi, including ten of the leading financial services companies and three of the largest telecommunications companies, according to Trell Rohovit, Venafi president and CEO. "Encryption is proving a necessity for protecting an organization's sensitive data, but many are resisting turning on encryption broadly because managing it can be highly cumbersome and expensive," Rohovit said. "Being named one of Network World's top 10 IT security companies to watch shows how important facilitating encryption management has become for companies concerned about data security, system uptime and regulatory compliance."
