SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Preempt Security, the leading provider of Conditional Access for real-time access control and threat prevention, announced record breaking revenue. The company saw in its first half of its fiscal year 100% growth in customers and 140% growth in ARR year-over-year.

Accelerating market acceptance of industry frameworks for cyber security risk reduction, such as Gartner’s CARTA and Forrester’s Zero Trust, mean that customers need solutions for continuous authentication for identity.  A Conditional Access approach provides risk based, continuous authentication in real-time, and with the least amount of user friction.

“The risk from credential and identity store compromise has only accelerated.  Conditional Access, at enterprise scale, is a highly leveraged way to reduce risk and still achieve key strategic goals,” said co-founder and CEO Ajit Sancheti.

Select customer wins this half included:

• One of the world’s largest cosmetic companies
• The world’s largest private agricultural company
• The world’s largest franchisor
• The world's largest manufacturer of primary batteries and portable lighting products
