MILPITAS, Calif.—April 2, 2008 —FireEye, Inc., the leader in global anti-botnet protection, today announced that it has been selected as one of 10 companies in Bank Technology News' FutureNow List, which ranks the best security innovations of 2008. The FutureNow List is a ranking of the best IT and physical security innovations of the year, focusing on technology companies whose innovations were remarkable for the benefits they brought to financial institutions' security, compliance and risk management.

"We are honored to be recognized as one of the ten companies on The FutureNow List," said Ashar Aziz, CEO of FireEye. "The inadequacy of current perimeter-based, reactive signature- and anomaly-based tools in ensuring a trusted network against the onslaught of botnet attacks has been the primary driver behind FireEye's solutions. Being part of The FutureNow List highlights the significance of FireEye's Botwall security solutions which safeguards the information assets of financial services and protects the integrity and privacy of financial transactions."

Botnets are increasingly becoming pervasive threats as they become carriers of ever sophisticated malware into corporate America. Such collections of bots, or remotely controlled computers, pose an enormous threat to the profitability and reputations of businesses as the speed of its propagation has increased exponentially in the last two years. In addition to securing customer data from identity theft, banks and financial services institutions are protecting its own corporate assets and intellectual property from outside attacks. By implementing FireEye's solution, banking and financial services institutions are able to identify, locate, and analyze the behaviors of several malicious machines that had been compromised but gone undetected by other intrusion prevention, anti-virus, and firewall products.
