InfoWorld Recognizes Elemental Security Platform with 2007 Technology of the Year Award for Best Security Compliance Management
Award Winners Selected Out of Hundreds of Products Reviewed
San Mateo, Calif. - Jan 11, 2007 - Elemental Security, Inc. (Elemental), the award-winning pioneer of new technology in enterprise information security, today announced that InfoWorld Magazine has recognized the Elemental Security Platform (ESP) with a “2007 Technology of the Year” award in its premiere issue of 2007. InfoWorld singled ESP out as the best security compliance management solution in 2006, honoring ESP as one of only 6 winners in the category of security in its 4 th annual Technology of the Year issue.
For the second year running, ESP wowed InfoWorld reviewers for a spot in the Technology of the Year roster, with reviewers citing its excellence in identifying and grouping devices attached to a network (or, “citing it as their pick for the best product in the security compliance management arena”).
“Last year, Elemental set the standard for providing hosts compliancy checks and insight into network traffic patterns. Now, ESP broadens its reach to include more client and server platforms and increases the number of agents a single ESP server can handle. Still impressive is the granular policy deployment and the amount of raw information the agents report back to the server,” said Keith Schultz, contributing editor, InfoWorld.
“It’s a tremendous honor to have ESP winning an InfoWorld Technology of the Year award and having the highest scoring review for the 2nd straight year. This is tangible validation that Elemental is staying ahead of the crowded market, and with our just released 3.0 product laying risk and business value to our already acclaimed offering, we believe that we will continue to stay ahead of the pack,” said Dan Farmer, CTO, Elemental Security.
The InfoWorld honor goes to the most recent version of ESP reviewed by the publication, version 2.0. Elemental Security has since launched ESP 3.0, which combines key capabilities essential for effective security policy and risk management, giving enterprises a single, seamless solution to satisfy compliance requirements and gain a risk-adjusted view of their network environment.
