Runecast – 2020’s Best Place to Work & Product of the Year

Q4 2020 brought us big wins in two major categories: Best Place to Work in Digital (SMEs) and Cloud Security Product of the Year (SMEs).

These awards come just after Runecast was named one of 20 finalists from 403 total companies for the EIT Digital Challenge 2020, Europe’s flagship competition for Deep Tech scaleups, with deep tech products that leverage sophisticated, hard-to-reproduce digital technologies that fuel digital transformation. Earlier this year, Runecast was named a 2020 Cool Vendor by Gartner.

Computing’s Digital Technology Leaders Award for 2020 Best Place to Work in Digital (SMEs) goes to… Runecast!

Computing stressed the importance this year of the people behind companies’ resilience in a post-covid world. Runecast’s winning formula, according to Runecast CEO & CoFounder Stan Markov in his interview with Computing following the award announcement, was in the team maintaining a year of consistent growth and railing against complacency.

Computing’s judges said that Runecast impressed them with “a fantastic approach to retaining talent,” to validate Runecast’s behind-the-scenes emphasis on staff well-being as the key to its overall business success.

“According to our website’s Careers page, ‘Runecast is your place to innovate!’ And we’ve done a lot of work in employer branding to attract the right sort of talent for that approach,” said Runecast HR Manager Michaela Kolackova (Twitter: @michaelanocz). “But the primary aspect that makes Runecast great is most likely our respect for work-life balance. We hold family and health in high regard.”

The award was announced by Laura Dawson (Twitter: @ishbel_hunter), Chief Information Officer at the London School of Economics: "With this award, we were looking for evidence of innovation, adoption, features and market share[...] In our judging, we said it was a strong part of the cybersecurity arsenal: forewarned is forearmed, and this really does do the trick. Well done."

"As enterprises increasingly embrace public cloud and containers, in addition to their on-prem virtual infrastructure, ensuring security compliance of the hybrid cloud is a challenge everyone has to solve," explained Runecast CEO Stan Markov. “Runecast Analyzer offers continuous security compliance overview of AWS, Kubernetes and VMware in a single dashboard."
