PC News Weekly Taps Positive Networks’ PositivePRO VPN with a Five Star Rating and an “Editor’s Choice Award”

OVERLAND PARK, KS (September 6, 2006)– Positive Networks, a provider of industry-leading hosted managed vpn, remote access and endpoint security solutions, received a Five Star Rating and an “Editor’s Choice Award” after a review of its PositivePRO™ secure remote access managed/hosted service in PC News Weekly, a leading trade magazine published by Possibility Media.

“PositivePRO continues to win awards and new customers for its benefits over traditional VPN appliances,” said Michael Yim, vice president of marketing, Positive Networks. “Additionally, we are gaining new customers who look to PositivePRO as a key component in business continuity plans to provide secure access to business-critical data and applications in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. PositivePRO makes securely accessing business-critical data easy, safe and efficient.”

PositivePRO is a complete managed service for secure remote access for an organization’s remote and mobile employees. Authorized end users can use PositivePRO to securely connect to their organization’s network and Intranet resources from any location where they can access the Internet, even in the event of a natural disaster like a hurricane or in the event of a mass outbreak of Bird Flu.

PositivePRO is a key component of any organization’s disaster planning/business continuity platform, providing secure access to all employees if a natural disaster, biohazard, or terrorism makes getting to the office physically impossible. PositivePRO connections can quickly be established well in advance or, literally on the fly in a matter of hours. If travel restrictions mean leaving the laptop at home, PositivePRO offers options to access corporate resources through public Internet stations and leaves no data or files on these machines after the connection is terminated. Unlike remote control PC programs with no endpoint security, PositivePRO is supported by corporate IT managers and CIOs as a critical tool for secure remote access to the corporate network and its resources.

The PositivePRO service provides a complete remote work platform with strong end-point security. It is developed for use with company-owned laptops, home PCs, other remote devices that can be remotely accessed by client-based access, Web-based access, and/or remote desktop control.
