Cryptzone

Cryptzone is a growing network security startup that provides context-aware data protection and user access for both infrastructure and applications. While the company isn't new to the market, its technology hits on an exploding market right now for data and application security, something that has led the company to significant growth in recent months and attract new executives to grow marketing, services and finances. Cryptzone has also been pushing big into the channel, adding former Dimension Data vice president Tina Gravel as channel chief and rolling out an enhanced partner program late last year. Cryptzone was acquired in November by private equity firms BC Partners and Medina Capital, who added it to a joint venture of data centers and co-location businesses it had acquired from CenturyLink and Medina's security, compliance and data analytics portfolio.
