The Golden Bridge Awards encompasses the world's best in business and innovation, honoring and generating industry-wide recognition of both organizational and individual performance. The "Fast Company Growth" category recognizes organizations that have achieved exponential company expansion, including fiscal and staff growth.

Today, more than 500 prestigious customers, including 7 out of the 10 of the world's largest banks, 60 government agencies, 7 aerospace leaders and three F1 teams rely on Avecto for IT security and user empowerment.

"Despite this recent growth, we're not resting on our laurels and are in fact looking to grow even further, especially as we expand our product offerings in the coming months," said Mark Austin, Avecto CEO. "Recognition from the Golden Bridge Awards is a testament to the strides that we've made, and there will be greater strides to come. We are proud to grow our company, while enabling our customers to future-proof their security strategies. We are excited to see what lies ahead as we continue this journey."
