ESET®, a global pioneer in proactive
protection for more than two decades, has been included once again in ‘Big 5’
ranking of Deloitte’s Annual Technology Fast 50
CE report. ESET
has enjoyed a 223% growth in Central Europe and is part of the ‘Big 5’ as the
only company founded prior to 2000. It corroborates the confirmed growth by Gartner. ESET has been present in Deloitte’s top
rankings for Central Europe for 13-times already.
“ESET is
very proud of its fast-paced growth over the past 25 years,” said Ignacio
Sbampato, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at ESET, reminding that ESET technology
has celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2012. “It’s thanks to our employees, business partners, and, most importantly,
our customers, that ESET has been ranked in Deloitte’s Big 5 once again. In
return, we promise to do our very best to earn this recognition again next year.”
Deloitte’s Big 5 award recognizes technology companies that are too big
to compete in growth terms with smaller firms. In order to be eligible for the
Big 5, a company must be trading for a minimum of four years, has to record
revenue in excess of 25 million euros, and be headquartered in Central Europe. ESET has previously and for several years
running been ranked in the Fast 50 CE as well.
“Central and Eastern Europe has
traditionally been strong for ESET. However even as ESET is a company from
Slovakia, we are as well the biggest IT security company from the European
Union. We will keep our focus to stay strong within this particular region and
strengthen our business in the whole of Europe,” says Miroslav Mikus, ESET’s
Sales and Marketing Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
