Redwood City, Calif., July 25, 2006 – Visto Corporation, a leading global provider of secure push email today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Company award winners.

Visto and the AO100 will be honored as part of the AO2006: Stanford Summit, July 25-27, at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto, California. It will bring together successful entrepreneurs, business and political thought leaders, and top venture capitalists to spot trends and spark new ideas and initiatives.

My congratulations to each AO100 winner - these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year.”
