Software Development editors, columnists and industry experts pick products that "jolted" the industry, presenting final awards on March 17th during the SD West 2004 event in Santa Clara, Calif. "Products selected as finalists for this year's Jolt Awards are truly exciting, representing the spirit of innovation that's still jolting the industry, despite a very challenging technology environment," said Rosalyn Lum, technical editor for Software Development Magazine. "eSafe represents a new class of proactive, integrated content security that reduces new Internet threats, like MyDoom, even before security updates are available," said Shimon Gruper, CTO of the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "In fact, within days, My Doom had infected hundreds of millions of emails despite billions of dollars invested in traditional content security solutions. While protecting our customers from these new, malicious Internet threats, we're honored to see eSafe's advanced integrated content security capabilities recognized by such a wide variety of industry experts tasked with judging the Jolt Award nominations."
