This year’s placement is a testament to Sourcefire’s global growth and industry-leading innovation, as the company was recognized in the No. 15 slot in 2011 and was in the No. 18 slot in 2010.
“Our sustained focus on innovation coupled with executing on our Agile Security™ vision has allowed us to consistently expand customer adoption to make us the fastest growing security company in the United States,” said John Burris, CEO at Sourcefire. “Our continued inclusion on this list further validates the strength of our end-to-end offering, from Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems and Next-Generation Firewall to FireAMP™ advanced malware protection.”

Firms were also required to show sales growth of at least 10 percent for each of the past three fiscal years and three-to-five-year estimated earnings-per-share growth rates more than 10 percent. Companies were then ranked on their three-year average sales growth rates.
Sourcefire also recently announced independent test results from NSS Labs demonstrating that its FirePOWER™ appliances protected against 99 percent of all attacks, exceeding Sourcefire's previous industry record of 98 percent set in 2011.
