Panel of experts hunt down innovative security technologies, will award two security vendors with "Critical" accolade and help develop their business in the UK

London, UK, November 30, 2009 – Acumin Consulting, has today announced it has brought together a number of security experts to find the most innovative security solutions from around the world and help those organisations to build and develop their business in the UK.

The panel, formed from European CISOs, Market Analysts, Market Entry Professionals and the Security Reseller Leadership, will assess a number of solutions against a predefined criteria in the hope of finding two security vendors that will ultimately be named as a “Critical Security Solution” provider. The two chosen vendors will be provided with a number of benefits to aid their UK business growth and visibility within the end-user community, including a UK market entry plan developed by Acumin, a sales and marketing plan, sponsorship of a RANT (Risk and Network Threat forum) event, and an agreement with a leading European security reseller.

The initiative is a result of feedback received from ‘RANT’, a popular end-user security forum, organised by Acumin Consulting. Chris Batten, Managing Director at Acumin commented: “Over the past 18 months we’ve seen a dramatic fall in security vendors opening businesses in the UK. The lack of visibility of new and innovative technology in this space is stifling Security Directors in addressing some key challenges they face. Some of us thought we’d try and change this landscape and have contacted a number of worldwide vendors whose solutions could be potentially interesting to the RANT community.”

Around 30 security vendors are expected to put their best solutions forward over the coming six weeks and the two winners will be announced in the New Year.
