SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Vormetric, a leader in enterprise data security for physical, big data, public, private and hybrid cloud environments, today announced 28% year-over-year growth in revenues for 2014, with accelerated growth in the second half of 2014 at 32% year-over-year growth. Second half growth exceeded by four times the 2014 Security Software Market growth forecast by Gartner for 2014. The company attributes its growth to strong data security platform product offerings, continued new customer acquisition, extended penetration within its existing customer base and greater market recognition of the need to protect data across enterprises' internal, cloud and SaaS implementations.
