Networks Unlimited, the sole distributor for Webroot Software in Sub-Saharan Africa, announced today that Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 was awarded "Best Anti-Spyware of 2006" by the editors of SC Magazine.
In addition, Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 was recently named a finalist in two categories of the SC Magazine Awards: "Best Anti-Malware Solution" in the Reader's Trust Awards category and "Best SME Security Solution" in the Excellence Awards category.
Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 stood out among nearly 400 entries submitted in nine technology categories. Finalists of the Reader's Trust Awards were selected by the publication's 9 000 readers after a 30-day online voting period. Excellence Awards entries and finalists were chosen by a panel of 17 chief information security officers at major corporations.
"Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 represents an innovative product from Webroot software and it demonstrates the vibrancy and vitality of the IT security industry," said Illena Armstrong, editor-in-chief, SC Magazine.
"This product represents breakthroughs that will benefit our readers and, in turn, corporate users of technology."
The first corporate anti-spyware solution to employ kernel level driver protection to detect and remove evolving malware, Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 includes real-time Smart Shields for additional proactive blocking protection, improved deployment across a large number of networked systems, and a redesigned user interface.
"Being recognised by the readers of SC Magazine as well as top C-level executives validates our continued investment in developing solutions that meet the needs of our customers amid today's growing number of Internet threats," said Peter Watkins, CEO of Webroot Software.
Winners of the SC Magazine Awards will be announced at an award ceremony and gala dinner on 6 February 2007, at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. Gerhard Eschelbeck, Webroot's CTO and senior VP of engineering, will participate in a panel discussion at the RSA Conference, titled "The State of Spyware: Analyst and Technologist Perspectives".
Commenting on the award, Rudi Jansen Van Vuuren, Product Manager for Webroot in SA, said: "Awards like these are important to end-users as they qualify the true quality of the solutions being offered by Webroot. Spyware and Malware remain a top threat and will continue to increase. The onus is on the end-user to ensure they use only best-of-breed products to protect their organisations from these threats.
