Toronto – October 20, 2009 — Dyadem today announced that it ranked number 444 on Deloitte’s 2009 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America.  Rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth during the five-year period from 2004–2008.  Dyadem grew 254 percent during this period.

“This year brought a lot of uncertainties to companies, but Dyadem was well-positioned to help our customers discover and manage the critical risks that were relevant to their businesses,” said Kevin North, President and CEO, Dyadem.  “Our growth is a testament to the value our products provide to organizations who are trying to get a handle on what potential risks can impact their business next.”
