(www.actiance.com), helping organizations benefit from new forms of
communications and collaboration, today announced that their
Socialite, Unified Security Gateway, and Vantage offerings have
been named as finalists in seven categories, for Info Security's
Global Excellence Awards.
Hosted by Info Security Products Guide, one of the leading

awards recognize and honor excellence in all areas of information
security. Actiance solutions are named finalists in categories
including: Innovation in
Compliance, Most Innovative
Security Product of the Year (Software), Security Products and
Solutions for Enterprise Innovation in Compliance.
- Socialite helps organizations protect their brand and ensure
compliance while allowing employees to share
relevant content, measure impact, and increase engagement. It
provides granular control of not only websites and applications but
also the content posted to blogs, wikis, webmail, and social
networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
- Unified Security Gateway (USG) is the only Secure
Web Gateway to combine feature and content controls of social
networks with the monitoring, management, and security of Web 2.0
applications. Thus, applications like instant messaging can be
safely accessed via URL filtering, anti-malware, and Web anti-virus
solutions.
- Vantage is the leading solution for granular security,
management, and compliance features for unified communications (UC)
and collaboration applications. These applications include
Microsoft Lync Server, Office Communications Server (OCS), IBM
Sametime, IBM Connections, Cisco Unified Presence (CUP), public
instant messaging (IM) platforms, and industry-focused networks
such as Reuters and Bloomberg.
The Actiance platform allows organizations to gain visibility of
applications in use, apply usage and content policies, ensure
compliance, and gain valuable insights across communications and
collaboration channels. Through monitoring, moderation, archiving,
and content distribution features, Actiance enables organizations
to fully maximize their social media
initiatives, without compromising security and compliance
requirements.
"Our vision at Actiance is to provide a single platform to
manage and secure all your communications and collaboration
solutions," says Sarah Carter, VP of Marketing. "That three
of the products making up the core of our platform are short-listed
for a total of seven awards, shows not just the market-leading
capabilities that we have, but how well recognized and utilized the
platform is."
Carter explains that the security industry has changed, with
organizations looking to consolidate their management of
communications and collaboration into a single platform with
respect to how communications mediums are evolving.
"Today's use of communications and collaboration technologies is
vastly different to what it was even twelve months ago. Securing
those communications is a daily challenge for most organizations.
The Actiance platform is designed with real-time in mind,
taking care to address changing communications requirements, and
ensuring that security and compliance are handled as a matter of
course."
An independent panel of technology industry experts will be
judging the finalist entries. Winners will be announced at the
Awards Dinner, February 29, 2012 in San Francisco, CA.
