Perimeter 81 was announced as one of 12 finalists for this year’s Comet Competition which evaluated 300 ISV applicants, held by Ingram Micro Inc, in partnership with MassChallenge. Established in 2018, the Comet Competition is the only startup challenge dedicated to discovering talented B2B independent software vendors (ISVs) and accelerating their trajectory to channel market success.
This award aids in our mission to increase network visibility by providing policy enforcement and protection for all users, devices, applications, data and traffic. By offering innovative, easy-to-use Software-Defined Perimeter solutions, backed by Zero Trust security, we’re working to protect our customers and their clients from looming cyber threats that aren’t addressed by outdated perimeter-centric strategies. The Comet Competition compliments our progress through go-to-market funding, access to corporate partners and other tools which will help accelerate our success. Once onboarded to the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace, ISVs are able to quickly scale, promote, sell and deploy their solutions to channel partners and the customers they serve in more than 50 global markets. “With Perimeter 81, it is our aim to disrupt the 30-year-old legacy VPN and firewall technology, and help businesses more easily and seamlessly secure network, cloud and application access for the modern and mobile workforce,” said Sagi Gidali, CPO and Co-Founder of Perimeter 81. “We are very proud to be recognized by Ingram Micro and Mass Challenge for our innovative and user-centric Software-Defined Perimeter technology.”
We’re excited to join MassChallenge and Ingram Micro at the upcoming 2019 Ingram Micro Cloud Summit, taking place in San Diego, Calif., March 11-13, as they announce the regional winners and showcase all finalists of the Comet Competition.
