Info Security Products Guide Applauds Unified Compliance Solution

Dallas, Texas, Decemeber 20, 2010 –Global DataGuard®, the premier provider of network behavior analysis-based (NBA)Unified Enterprise Security™(UES) andUnified Enterprise Cloud Security™(UECS), today announced that Info Security Products Guide has named its Unified Enterprise Security System (UTM++ 3300) a finalist in the Compliance Solution category for the 2011 Global Excellence Awards. These prestigious global awards recognize security and IT vendors with advanced, ground-breaking products and solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of technologies.

Derek Brink, Vice President and Research Fellow for Aberdeen's IT Security Division, notes in a Research Brief onNetwork Behavior Analysis: Protecting by Predicting and Preventingthat “organizations who utilize network behavior analysis correlate strongly with Best-in-Class performance. These users are far more likely toproactivelyinvestigate security incidents and threats, monitor privileged users, track suspicious behaviors and prevent data leaks.” Aberdeen believes this vision is consistent with the Best-in-Class view of security and compliance as a strategic sustainable program, as opposed to a series of one-time events.

“Global DataGuard is one of the few solutions providers today who can deliver an intelligent, adaptive,unifiedsecurity architecture that helps customers achieve and maintain compliance by uncovering complex assaults and developing threats before they can compromise confidential data and critical network resources,” stated Scott Paly, co-founder and chief executive officer for Global DataGuard. “While other major security vendors are only beginning to implement this strategy as part of a commercially available security solution, Global DataGuard is actually delivering a ubiquitous, architecture-based security platform that uses network behavior analysis as the enabling technology to help customers withstand the increasingly sophisticated, combined attacks associated with today’s cybercriminals.”
