SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group, and the African distributor for TippingPoint Technologies, today announced that over the past few weeks the latter had won several prestigious awards for its UnityOne product, making it the most decorated intrusion prevention system (IPS) for 2004.
The awards included:
* Gold '2004 Product of the Year' by Information Security magazine in the Intrusion Prevention Systems category.
* 'Best of 2004' and 'Best Buy' rating by SC Magazine in its December 2004 issue.
* One of the top products of 2004 by eWEEK in its December 2004 issue.
"The awards confirm the acceptance and positive reaction to the product that we have received from our client base over the previous few months," commented Dean Brazier, MD of SecureData. "We look forward to making further inroads into the local market in 2005 with this award-winning product."
Earlier in 2004 UnityOne was the first and only IPS product to receive the Gold award from the NSS Group and won recognition from both eWEEK and TechWorld. It was also rated by the SANS Institute in that it designated it as a 'Trusted Tool'.
