    Founded during the tech bust, IronPort became the leading provider of enterprise email routing and anti-spam solutions, and we were acquired by Cisco Systems in 2007 for $830 million. If another company has ever had a higher percentage of all-stars at all levels of the organization, I'd like to hear about it! If you see IronPort on someone's resume, they're very likely to be an A player.
