Leading Technology Publication Finds Sygate Superior Over Five Rivals in the
First Independent Competitive Review of Network Access Control Solutions
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15, RSA Conference 2005 (Booth #1321) /PRNewswire/ --
Sygate Technologies today announced its flagship Network Access Control (NAC)
solution, Sygate Secure Enterprise 4.1, has been found superior to products
from five competing security companies, according to CMP Media LLC's Secure
Enterprise magazine. The publication awarded Sygate with its prestigious
"Tester's Choice" award after testing the Sygate solution against those of
Check Point Software Technologies, Inc., and others.
This award follows on the heels of multiple accolades for Sygate in 2004.
Sygate was recognized by Red Herring as one of the top 100 private companies
that are transforming current markets and creating new ones. The company
also won an Innovative Technology award from Computerworld for delivering
leading-edge technology that provided measurable business value to customers,
tied for first place in a December 2004 InfoWorld review, and capped off the
year with Information Security magazine honoring Sygate as its 2004 "Product
of the Year" for the security management systems category.
"Sygate Secure Enterprise is the most well-rounded product tested," Secure
Enterprise magazine said in awarding Sygate its Tester's Choice award. "Its
highly scalable client-server architecture combines strong endpoint security
measures with distributed policy enforcement and automated data-security
management." Testing revealed Sygate's superiority in the following areas:
-- Ability to adapt policies dynamically based on type of communication
and network environment
-- Comprehensive intrusion prevention
-- Industry partnerships that ensure Sygate's products will work with
multiple platforms and applications
-- Ability to apply policies by the computer an agent is installed on
-- Ability to link multiple management servers to provide scalability
"SSE is a good fit for large organizations, providing a firewall,
intrusion-detection system, policy enforcement and ways for users to remediate
themselves, all in a neat package that should work with a company's security
infrastructure," said Secure Enterprise.
"Once again, Sygate's network access control solution has proven to be
miles ahead of competitors," said John De Santis, Sygate's CEO. "There is no
better honor then to be recognized by our customers and other respected third
parties for our accomplishments. In head-to-head testing, surveys of network
security managers and in this most recent comparative analysis, our emphasis
on providing "compliance on contact" is clearly best-of-class."
