Utimaco - The Data Security Company, today announced that
Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication
and a world leading provider of information on technologies and
solutions, has named SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3 a winner of the 2008
Best Products and Services Award.
This respected annual award honors products and services that
represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of the end-users
of technology worldwide. As part of the tech-industry's leading
global awards program, this year's Best Products and Services were
nominated from all over the world. SafeGuard Enterprise has
achieved extraordinary market reception with triple the number of
customer seats in the second half of Utimaco's 2007/2008 fiscal
year compared to the first half of the same year.
SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3 is a completely integrated software
solution for multi-layered security, preventing data leakage via
ports and removable media. The suite enforces consistent,
centralized, policy-based encryption and data security for PCs and
mobile devices in mixed device and OS environments. It is the first
and only solution to offer the multi-layered protection of both
encryption and data leakage prevention (DLP) under one central
management console. With SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3, Utimaco ensures
ease of use for network and security administrators with complete
deployment flexibility allowing for both central and non-central
management - a key differentiator that separates Utimaco from
competitive offerings.
"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology
are helping shape better products and services," says Rake Narang,
editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. "SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3
provides unparalleled protection by combining data leak prevention
with encryption and offers users security on all kinds of devices,
from laptops and removable media to PDAs and smartphones."
"We are honored that SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3 was recognized
with this award," said Malte Pollmann, Chief Product Officer,
Utimaco. "It further validates our work to exceed customer
expectations for powerful security solutions that safeguard their
critical data."
