Accellion Named to KMWorld’s 2018 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 08, 2018 -- Accellion, Inc., the leading platform that enables organizations to securely share sensitive information with the outside world while maintaining the controls and visibility needed to demonstrate compliance, today announced it has been named to KMWorld Magazine’s “100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management” for the seventh year in-a-row.

Each year, the KMWorld editorial staff recognizes companies that specialize in collaborative, cloud or cognitive computing or a host of other categories whose solutions represent the best in innovation, creativity and functionality. The list is compiled by knowledge management practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and customers.

Accellion’s secure file sharing platform provides a secure governance perimeter around an organization’s most sensitive content, whether it is stored on-prem or in the cloud. This allows CISOs to have full visibility, and therefore full control, of where sensitive content is stored, who has access to it, and what’s being done with it.

“Enterprises across a wide range of industries must reconcile the dual challenge of sharing sensitive information securely while demonstrating compliance with a myriad of internal policies, industry standards, government regulations and laws,” commented Yaron Galant, Chief Product Officer at Accellion. “As a result, KMWorld’s annual list is more relevant and timely than ever, and we’re proud that this publication continues to view Accellion’s secure file sharing platform as a critical piece of an organization’s security and compliance efforts.”

Accellion’s secure file sharing platform provides organizations the security, control and visibility needed when sharing sensitive information beyond enterprise boundaries. This enables organizations to demonstrate compliance with a broad range of industry regulations and standards, including: GDPR, HIPAA (with signed BAA), NIST 800-171, SOX, ITAR, SOC2, and CJIS.
