SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 14 - Critical Watch, the leading provider of security risk and compliance management, today announced that it has been voted a '2008 Hot Company,' a recognition honored by Network Products Guide, the world's leading publication on technologies and solutions published from Silicon Valley, California.

Critical Watch President and CEO David Laizerovich presented on the company's 4Ps covering products, people, performance and potential to a live audience of senior executives and leaders from the technology industry, venture capitalists, media, peer-to-peer and other industry experts at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara in the heart of Silicon Valley.

"It's time for technology companies to focus on innovation and growth now," says Rake Narang, Editor-n-Chief of Network Products Guide.
