FOSTER CITY, CALIF. - February 13, 2007 -
FaceTime Communications, the leading provider of solutions for
securing and managing IM, P2P and Web-based greynets, today
announced that for the second consecutive year, SC Magazine has
awarded its prestigious Reader Trust Award for Best IM Security
Solution to FaceTime for FaceTime Enterprise Edition.
Winners in the 10th Annual SC Magazine Award Program were
announced and honored last week in San Francisco during the RSA
Conference, the world's leading information security event. A
judging panel of carefully selected chief security officers
examined more than 400 entries in 20 categories. More than 9,000
readers also participated in the selection process, voting on the
publication's Website for the products they trust for key IT
security responsibilities.
FaceTime Enterprise Edition received top honors as the winner in
the IM Security category over finalists Akonix, Barracuda Networks,
Secure Computing and Symantec. FaceTime also won the award in
2006.
"As we witness more and more incidents of data theft and
exposure, it becomes obvious that our IT security practitioners and
companies that support them are critical in today's business
world," said SC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Illena Armstrong.
"Instant messaging security and compliance is becoming
increasingly important for organizations that rely on consumer IM
applications or enterprise-class products such as Microsoft LCS and
IBM Sametime," said Frank Cabri, vice president of marketing for
FaceTime Communications. "Forward-looking organizations are
incorporating IM as a collaborative business tool and are seeking
management solutions that protect against the rapidly changing
threat landscape, comply with new federal regulations such as
e-discovery, and guard against information leakage."
FaceTime Enterprise Edition is used by the world's largest
organizations to manage, secure and control IM, P2P, spyware and
other greynet applications. It provides user policy management,
message hygiene, day zero worm protection, comprehensive regulatory
and e-discovery compliance, and network protection against user
circumvention. It can also be deployed to detect and prevent
spyware infections at the Internet gateway - before it infects the
desktop. Enterprise Edition combines FaceTime's IMAuditor™ on the
LAN with Real-Time Guardian™ at the gateway for a complete,
end-to-end security, management and compliance solution. It works
with all public and enterprise IM clients. For more information,
