London, UK: Cryptzone has been named a finalist in the SC Awards 2016 Europe for outstanding threat solution products in information security. Cryptzone AppGate is recognised in the Best NAC Solution category, which acknowledges superior products and services that help customers address the most pressing cyber-security threats. The winners will be announced at the SC Magazine Awards Europe ceremony to be held in London on Tuesday 7th June at a stunning new venue on the Riverside of the Thames, Old Billingsgate.
Barry Field, CEO of Cryptzone said, “The first few months of 2016 has seen far too many companies acknowledge that they have suffered data breaches. Today’s threat landscape demands that enterprises look beyond securing the perimeter and ultimately change the way they think about access control. Rather than carte blanche permissions, organisations need to restrict access only to the files and services needed by the user to perform their role, and nothing else. The rest of the network should remain invisible and unreachable, regardless of where it is hosted, which is the only way to firmly close the door to attackers.”
Cryptzone AppGate is a comprehensive access control solution that provides unified access control at a granular level to applications, services and infrastructure regardless of location, whether on-premises or in the cloud. By making the network essentially ‘invisible,’ cloaking the nature of the full infrastructure and only granting visibility and access to the applications and services that users need to do their job, enterprises can provide access to anyone, anywhere at any time with the confidence and trust that critical information stays in the right hands.
Unlike traditional SSL-VPNs, Next Generation Firewalls and Network Access Control solutions require extensive management of policies and firewall rules, and tend to still grant overly permissive access to the network, Cryptzone AppGate enables enterprise agility and flexibility to adapt to the dynamic demands of the workforce, customers and the business to be competitive on a global scale. AppGate provides real-time access on a need-to-know basis and enables a unified way to control access while maintaining a tight security profile.
The SC Magazine Awards Europe, are the information security industry’s most prominent recognition. Winners in the Threat Solution categories are decided by an expert panel of judges, hand-picked by SC Magazine UK’s editorial team for their breadth of knowledge and experience in the information security industry. The awards honour both the cyber-security professionals working in the trenches, and the products and services that help protect today’s corporate world from a myriad of ever-changing threats.
“Cryptzone’s solution represents some of the most innovative and effective security technology on the market today,” said Tony Morbin, Editor in Chief at SC Magazine UK. “As attackers develop and practice new approaches to compromising sensitive information, companies are challenged to keep pace. Cryptzone’s AppGate was named an SC Award finalist for its efforts to raise the bar for the security industry.”
