Las Vegas, NV - September 14, 2010 -- AlertBoot, a leading provider of full disk encryption, today announced that CEO Tim Maliyil was named to the MSPmentor 250, a global report that identifies the world's leading managed services executives, entrepreneurs, experts, coaches and community leaders.

"Organizations are constantly battling new and emerging threats from both inside and outside of the company and encryption has proven to be an essential tool for protecting business data," said Tim Maliyil, CEO of AlertBoot. "This award is a testament to our goal to not only provide secure encryption solutions, but to also remove the burden of management. AlertBoot continues to expand its reach globally through its channel program and this recognition on the MSPmentor 250 demonstrates the success of this program."

The third-annual MSPmentor 250 report is based on a global survey of MSPmentor readers, conducted from May through July 23, 2010.
