AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 07/16/09 -- CoreTrace, the pioneer of client-based application whitelisting technology, today announced that it has been selected to the 2009 AlwaysOn Global 250 List as one of the top private companies in the "SaaS and Enterprise" market. The AlwaysOn Global 250 Award is given to private, emerging technology companies creating new business opportunities in high-growth markets. CoreTrace was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on demonstration of growth, market opportunity, quality of innovation and customer traction.

"AlwaysOn has a proven record of identifying and recognizing game-changing players in global technology industries," said Toney Jennings, president and CEO of CoreTrace. "Rather than continue to evolve the broken blacklist-based approach to antivirus, CoreTrace is leading the revolution to application whitelisting -- completely altering not only the technology approach but even the business model of the entire industry. We would like to thank the AlwaysOn editorial team for acknowledging our past success and future potential."

CoreTrace's award-winning BOUNCER product is the only application whitelisting solution that simultaneously stops even the most sophisticated malware attacks (e.g., rootkits, memory exploits), while allowing users to safely install new applications and have them automatically added to the whitelist without requiring IT involvement. BOUNCER's impressive record against rogue applications was shown at the Defcon16 "Race to Zero" competition last year where BOUNCER stopped 100 percent of all malware. Leading blacklist-based antivirus solutions stopped 60 percent. With the additional protection that BOUNCER provides, for example memory protection, this one solution replaces an entire suite of products from traditional antivirus companies.

CoreTrace and the other AlwaysOn Global 250 winners will be recognized at the AlwaysOn & STVP Summit at Stanford, taking place at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, on July 28-30. This two-and-a-half day executive conference is co-presented by the Stanford Technology Ventures Program will highlighting the significant economic, political and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries.

"It's no secret that technology and innovation are vital to bringing our country out of economic recession," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The companies on this year's list have not only created innovative technologies that solve real business problems, but have stimulated economic growth through the generation of new jobs. I congratulate every winner selected for this year's award and wish them all tremendous success in the future."

The AlwaysOn Global 250 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2009 list.
