Enterprise Week “Editor’s Choice Award” Goes to Positive Networks’ PositivePRO Secure Remote Access Solution
PositivePRO™ Enables SMBs with Enterprise-Grade SSL VPN Functionality, Security and Access Without Adding a Costly Appliance
OVERLAND PARK, KS (September 18, 2006) – While most industry awards for enterprise-class products involve “big iron” appliances, the editors of Enterprise Week have honored Positive Networks with an “Editor’s Choice Award” for the company’s PositivePRO™ secure remote access managed/hosted service. Positive Networks received the award for it’s innovation in creating the industry leading software as a service remote access and endpoint security solution. This breakthrough technology gives SMBs a powerful remote access service, an advantage that was once only reserved for large enterprises that could afford a significant capital expense budget and IT staff to manage an appliance.
“We are especially delighted by this award as it demonstrates how mid-market companies can effectively use enterprise-class technology for secure remote access through our PositivePRO hosted/managed service,” said Michael Yim, vice president of marketing, Positive Networks. “We view PositivePRO as a worthy option to big iron SSL VPN appliances, especially since corporate IT departments don’t have to worry about ongoing management and configuration issues normally associated with these appliances. We’re pleased that the editors of Enterprise Week share our view.”
PositivePRO is a complete managed service for secure remote access for an organization’s remote and mobile employees. The PositivePRO service provides a complete remote work platform with strong endpoint security.
