Attesting to the company`s exceptional solutions in information security, the latest in a series of industry accolades for Axent Technologies is an award from Novell`s Developers` Contest. Maintaining a steady succession of awards, Axent`s market-leading security assessment solution, Enterprise Security ManagerO (ESM) won the Novell Developers` Contest for best overall commercial application. The product outshone top competitors` solutions such as NetShield Netware, BindView Enterprise Management System and Check Point Software Technologies` Firewall-1.
As IT advances in form and function, equally sophisticated threats command powerful protection and counter-initiatives. "Axent`s business hinges primarily on two things," notes Derrick Plank, national sales manager for the company`s local business partner, Foster-Melliar. "The tenacity to remain abreast of the mass migration from corporeal business cultures to virtual trading zones, and the ability to progressively produce information security solutions capable of combating the associated threats."
Director of Novell`s developer services, Scott Wells states "The Novell Developers` Contest showcases Novell`s and our partners` solutions for directory-enabled, Internet-based applications which provide seamless, secure and manageable access from anywhere. Axent`s ESM uses the directory effectively to provide information security across the enterprise, earning it the title of best overall commercial application."
Entries were evaluated based on a number of features including ease of installation / uninstallation, usability, marketability, NDS-enablement, usage of NetWare 5 features, overall performance and quality of application. Given that Novell totally understands security`s role as a business enabler, particularly with the growth and deployment of e-business applications, Axent is especially pleased with this recognition. "The award verifies Axent as the only information security company which exceeds Novell`s stringent requirements," declares Plank.
The flexibility to create custom policies, separate the duties of security and IT administration, and to report only on security events that aren`t compliant with the corporate security policy - all from a single console - make ESM the first choice vulnerability assessment solution available to the market. States Plank, "Axent continues to aggressively integrate market-leading e-security solutions as part of Smart Security Architecture, providing smart and appropriate integration between Axent solutions, complementary solutions and common components and protocols."
