The winners of SC Magazine's annual awards will be announced on February 14 at an awards dinner at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. The SC Magazine annual awards is a global program consisting of three separate award programs for the U.S., U.K., and Asia Pacific regions. With participation from developers and users around the world, the SC Magazine Awards has received more than 1300 product and service nominations from more than 330 companies. This is the highest number of nominations in the award program's ten year history. "McAfee is honored to be selected as a finalist by readers across the U.S. and Europe, as well as its awards panel consisting of well respected chief security officers from around the world, " said Parveen Jain, executive vice president of Corporate Marketing and Strategy at McAfee, Inc. "To be named a finalist demonstrates the high level of trust the public has in McAfee's unmatched security expertise, and confidence in our comprehensive and proven solutions to block attacks and prevent disruptions." The Reader Trust Awards are comprised of four security-focused product categories, and finalists were selected based on judges' deliberations, reader votes and vote validation exercises. The "Best Anti-Virus" solution award recognizes the solution that not only offers customers the best protection against viruses, but also product management and support. The "Best Anti- Trojan" award recognizes the product or service that best protects against all types of Trojans. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, which was named a finalist in both categories, proactively stops and removes malicious software, extends coverage for the new security risks and reduces the cost of managing an outbreak response. The solution addresses the limitations of traditional anti- virus software to mitigate the window of vulnerability and stop threats even without an update. The "Best SME Solution" category is awarded to affordable and manageable security solutions that protect the critical information assets of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in today's global economy. The McAfee SIG Appliance provides the industry's first fully-integrated Web and email security appliance, delivering comprehensive protection for small and medium business users against spyware, spam, inappropriate Web content, phishing attacks, known viruses, worms and Trojans. The McAfee SIG Appliance provides comprehensive Web and email protection on a single appliance. It is also simple, affordable, easily installed and virtually maintenance free, helping to protect company assets, maximize employee productivity and reduce corporate liability for SMB users. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Networking News :: home page |
