Why it's growing: Since his arrival to the company, CEO James Fox has made a push for the intellectual property niche, where he believes the biggest amount of security needs arise for his client base in the southeastern U.S. Additionally, the company has seen great success with its ATLAS software, which automates a company's security tasks and makes its infrastructure more effective.

What's noteworthy: On the heels of the company's best month in history, Vigilar in March 2007 announced it was expanding its presence in the South and Southwest by opening new offices in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Austin, Houston and Miami. Vigilar already has offices throughout Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Florida.
