These awards go to the best technology products every year, and we are honored that the Cloud Guard security suite has gained the Network Products Guide Reader Trust.”

“With 75% of enterprise organizations planning for some level of cloud computing within their network infrastructures, it is imperative that security requirements for the cloud parallel security for premise-based environments,” stated Scott Paly, chief executive officer for Global DataGuard. “Regardless of where a customer’s applications and data reside – on-premise, in the cloud or in a cloud/on-premise hybrid environment – our goal is to make unified enterprise-level security ubiquitous for any size customer at a fraction of the price.”

Global DataGuard’s end-to-end security system unifies network security from the ground up. At its foundation is a fully integrated architecture that utilizes patented network behavior analysis as the enabling technology – so security applications can work together, sharing and correlating information across all application subsystems to provide a deeper, historical context to threats and attack reconnaissance. Further, it provides a learned intelligence capability that can predict behaviors and track developing threats more quickly, before they compromise network resources.
