BELMONT, Calif - February 24, 2009 - FaceTime
Communications announced today that it has been selected as a
finalist in the 2009 SC Magazine Awards both in the US and in
Europe. FaceTime's Unified Gateway Appliance (USG) is short-listed
for Security Product of the Year in Europe, and IMAuditor has been
chosen as a finalist for Best Instant Messaging Security Product in
US. Both awards ceremonies will be held in April, 2009.
SC Magazine, the world's largest dedicated IT security
publication, awarded the USG a coveted 5 stars in its November 2008
review, concluding that "You will however, be hard-pushed to find a
security appliance that can offer the same level of controls over
IM and P2P and combine these with excellent web content filtering
and spyware protection."
"Recognition from the SC Magazine Awards, which are designed to
reward excellence and innovation within IT security, is high praise
indeed," says Nick Sears, VP EMEA, FaceTime Communications. "USG is
already proving itself a real winner with organisations around the
world that are able to benefit from the collaboration and
productivity benefits of real-time communications without
sacrificing their security, control and compliance
obligations."
Unified Security Gateway (USG) is a secure Web gateway appliance
purpose-built for the new Internet. USG 2.0 provides a single point
of control for managing Web access, preventing malware, controlling
Web 2.0 applications and managing information leakage in corporate
networks. IT managers can detect and control more than 1,400 Web
2.0 and real-time applications with the same granular policies they
have come to expect from dedicated URL filtering solutions.
IMAuditor allows companies to reap the benefits of collaboration
and productivity associated with real-time communications, while
protecting the enterprise network from inbound malware, outbound
data leakage and insuring corporate and regulatory compliance. In
addition to proven inbound malware protection, the newest version
of IMAuditor detects and scans message communications as well as
file transfer content in real-time, checking for inbound malicious
URLs as well as flagging potential confidential data before it
leaves the network.
The SC Magazine Awards US 2009 will be announced at a ceremony
held April 21, 2009 at the Hilton San Francisco, in conjunction
with the RSA Conference. The SC magazine Awards Europe 2009 will
take place at the Hurlingham Club, Ranelagh Gardens, UK on Tuesday
28 April 2009.
