NEW YORK, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ —SecurityScorecard, the leader in security ratings, today announced record-breaking results for the first half of 2017 driven by new customer acquisitions, existing customer expansions, and channel and strategic partnership growth.

About SecurityScorecard

Headquartered in the heart of New York City, SecurityScorecard’s vision is to help security professionals work collaboratively to solve mission critical cybersecurity issues in a transparent and collaborative way. The company was founded in late 2013 by Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy and Sam Kassoumeh, two former cybersecurity practitioners who had served, respectively, as Chief Information Security Officer and Head of Security & Compliance. With cloud solutions becoming an increasingly integral part of the security technology stack, Yampolskiy and Kassoumeh recognized the need to address 3rd and 4th party risk as well as better understand the security capabilities of their business partners. Since its founding, the company has grown dramatically and now counts hundreds of leading brands as customers. SecurityScorecard is backed by leading venture capital investors including Sequoia Capital and GV, among others. For more information, visit www.securityscorecard.com.
