Press Release
FaceTime is an SC Award Finalist on Both Sides of the Pond
BELMONT, Calif - February 24, 2009 - FaceTime Communications announced
today that it has been selected as a finalist in the 2009 SC Magazine Awards
both in the US and in Europe. FaceTime's Unified Gateway Appliance (USG) is
short-listed for Security Product of the Year in Europe, and IMAuditor has been
chosen as a finalist for Best Instant Messaging Security Product in US. Both
awards ceremonies will be held in April, 2009.
SC Magazine, the world's largest dedicated IT security publication, awarded the
USG a coveted 5 stars in its November 2008 review, concluding that "You will
however, be hard-pushed to find a security appliance that can offer the same
level of controls over IM and P2P and combine these with excellent web content
filtering and spyware protection."
"Recognition from the SC Magazine Awards, which are designed to reward
excellence and innovation within IT security, is high praise indeed," says Nick
Sears, VP EMEA, FaceTime Communications. "USG is already proving itself a real
winner with organisations around the world that are able to benefit from the
collaboration and productivity benefits of real-time communications without
sacrificing their security, control and compliance obligations."
Unified Security Gateway (USG) is a secure Web gateway appliance purpose-built
for the new Internet. USG 2.0 provides a single point of control for managing
Web access, preventing malware, controlling Web 2.0 applications and managing
information leakage in corporate networks. IT
managers can detect and control more than 1,400 Web 2.0 and real-time
applications with the same granular policies they have come to expect from
dedicated URL filtering solutions.
IMAuditor allows companies to reap the benefits of collaboration and
productivity associated with real-time communications, while protecting the
enterprise network from inbound malware, outbound data leakage and insuring
corporate and regulatory compliance. In addition to proven inbound malware
protection, the newest version of IMAuditor detects and scans message
communications as well as file transfer content in real-time, checking for
inbound malicious URLs as well as flagging potential confidential data before
it leaves the network.
The SC Magazine Awards US 2009 will be announced at a ceremony held April 21,
2009 at the Hilton San Francisco, in conjunction with the RSA Conference. The
SC magazine Awards Europe 2009 will take place at the Hurlingham Club, Ranelagh
Gardens, UK on Tuesday 28 April 2009.
