| Lumension Security Wins "Security Product of the Year" in CNET Networks UK Business Technology Awards |
Lumension Security, formed by the combination of PatchLink Corporation and SecureWave S.A., today announced that it has won the 'Security Product of the Year' award for its endpoint security management product, Sanctuary, in the CNET Networks UK Business Technology Awards.
The award recognises the security product or service that best demonstrates innovation, improved productivity for the customer, ease of implementation and management and how a product has enabled businesses to gain a competitive edge.
Lumension Security's Sanctuary is the industry's leading endpoint security solution to offer unified policy enforcement for centrally managing and monitoring applications and devices. It provides device control that proactively secures organisations from data threats, including data leakage, malware and spyware. Unlike traditional security solutions that take a reactive approach to symptoms after a threat has already propagated, Sanctuary proactively protects against data leakage, malware and spyware by denying everything by default.
The Security Product of the Year Award, sponsored by ZDNet.co.uk, recognised the capabilities of Sanctuary's whitelist functionality, unified and centralised console for application and device control and its patent-pending bi-directional shadowing.
Commenting on the award, Andrew Clarke, SVP of international at Lumension, said: "This award demonstrates the growing success and market recognition of our proactive approach to endpoint security. Today, enterprises are inundated with a barrage of reactive technologies that don't proactively protect proprietary systems and data from all known and unknown threats. Our focus on acquiring and integrating best-of-breed technologies is to simplify the entire security management lifecycle and meet customer demand for a unified solution to proactively defend against data leakage, malware, and other threats."
Lumension, formed following its acquisition of Harris STAT and SecureWave, is a global leader in security management, delivering unified protection and control solutions to its 5,100 customers worldwide.
Jill Orr, Managing Director at CNET Networks commented: "The competition for this year's awards has been fierce and the standard of the entries was outstanding, confirming that 2007 has been another fantastic year for the UK technology industry. I congratulate Lumension on their success and hope the year ahead is equally impressive."
