Secure Computing Corporation (NASDAQ: SCUR), the experts in securing connections between people, applications and networks™ and makers of Sidewinder G2® Security Appliance, was recognized as a VARBusiness “Best Midmarket Product of the Year” by CMP Media’s VARBusiness magazine.
Sidewinder G2 is featured and profiled in the special August 7 VARBusiness “Best of the Midmarket” issue. According to the publication, “The Sidewinder G2 consolidates all major Internet security functions into one self-defending unified threat management (UTM) system. That's great news for midmarket companies, which need enterprise-class functionality at an affordable price point. Built on Zero-hour Attack Protections, or ZAP, technology, the device defends networks and applications from known and unknown Internet threats, at the same time offering greater manageability and stronger security than typical UTM and firewall appliances.”
“Sidewinder G2 is the most comprehensive security gateway appliance in the world,” said Sami Mulla, Director, Middle East, Secure Computing. “This recognition underscores our commitment to providing only the best products to our customers and channel partners worldwide.”
“Our midmarket customers look to us to provide the best security solutions,” said Preston Hogue, Information Security Practice manager of Network Computing Architects, a Secure Computing channel partner. “Sidewinder G2 provides enterprise-level security protecting networks from known and unknown threats, at a price midmarket customers can afford.”
VARBusiness, a biweekly magazine that provides strategic insight to technology integrators, solicited input from information-technology vendors and solution providers to determine which products and services were best for midmarket customers – companies with between 100 and 999 employees. Entries were considered and reviewed by VARBusiness editors who selected only 45 of the more than 350 nominated products.
