Johannesburg, 19 May 2011
Safend, a leading provider of endpoint data protection solutions, has announced that SC Magazine Europe, the industry's leading information security magazine, has named the Safend Data Protection Suite a winner of the 2011 DLP category.
Safend's Data Protection Suite provides Port and Device Control, Hard Disk Encryption, Removable Content Encryption, Content Inspection and Content Discovery in a single agent, single console comprehensive solution for Windows and Mac OS/X. This innovative concept adheres to stringent security requirements, is transparent to end-users and facilitates the highest level of performance and productivity.
“With the endpoints of South African companies continuing to be major sources of data leakage, this is phenomenal news for Safend and the local market,” says Alan Rehbock, sales and marketing Director of Magix Security. “Companies need to be continually reminded of not only how vulnerable they are to nefarious activity through unprotected endpoints, but also to the damage that can be done to them once the data falls into the wrong hands. When this happens, it's too late.” Safend's products are distributed in South Africa by Magix Security.
Safend's Data Protections Suite is comprised of Safend Inspector, Safend Discoverer, Safend Encryptor, Safend Protector, Safend Protector for Mac and the recently announced Safend Discoverer for Mac. The combined suite is designed to offer an unprecedented level of enterprise data protection against corporate data loss and theft while ensuring compliance with South Africa's PPI (Protection of Personal Information) directive, PCI, SOX, Basel II and other regulatory data security and privacy standards.
“We couldn't be more pleased to receive this honour from SC Magazine Europe, which further validates our product as excellence-in-class and ahead of the curve,” said Edy Almer, VP Marketing and Business Development for Safend. “To be named a top DLP solution provider highlights Safend's commitment to have best of breed components for the most comprehensive, cohesive endpoint and DLP offering available. It was a special pleasure for us to win when up against Symantec, McAfee, Trustwave and Lumension.”
The SC Awards Europe are universally recognised as the most coveted and prestigious awards for the European information security industry. The SC Awards honour professionals working to secure enterprises and the vendor and channel communities that deliver innovative security technologies.
