The American Business Awards is the nation-s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations — public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.
For the first time, The American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: the ABA-s traditional banquet on Monday, June 18 in New York, and a new technology awards event on Monday, September 17 in San Francisco.
More than 3,000 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.
“With the thousands of nominations that were submitted to the American Business Awards, to be named a finalist is not only an honor, but also strong validation for our CipherCloud information protection technology,” said CipherCloud founder and CEO Pravin Kothari. “As more organizations continue to adopt cloud-based services, our technology allows them to confidently address their concerns about data privacy, residency, security, and compliance.”
The CipherCloud technology cited in the award, CipherCloud Gateway, provides operations-preserving encryption and tokenization to secure sensitive information in real time, before it-s sent to the cloud, without impacting usability or performance, or requiring any change to the application.
Finalists were chosen by more than 140 business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May. More than 150 members of 10 specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place May 14 – 25.
