WALTHAM, MA – May 19, 2008 – Aveksa, Inc. (www.aveksa.com), the market-leading provider of enterprise access governance solutions, today announced that it has been recognized by Red Herring as one of the top 100 private technology companies in North America. Companies named to the 2008 Red Herring 100 North America list were selected on the basis of technology innovation, quality of management, breadth of partners and customers, and depth of financial backing.
“Having received more than 800 submissions, it is clear that we are witnessing a new outburst of creativity,” says Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. “With venture capital flowing again, it’s exciting to see technology innovators and business investors collaborate to create disruptive technologies. The Red Herring 100 North America companies are impressive up-and-comers, and definitely the ones to watch.”

Aveksa was the only enterprise access governance vendor among the winners, which further validates our leadership position in this space.”
Red Herring’s annual lists of top private companies are an important part of its tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs.
