Positive Networks’ PositivePRO™ Secure Remote Access Managed Service Solution Captures Technology Week’s 20 Best Business Products of 2006 Award
Unique Hosted Managed SSL VPN Service Earns Another Leading Trade Publication Award; Delivers Secure Remote Access to Business-Critical Network Resources Easily and Cost-Effectively
OVERLAND PARK, KS (January 24, 2007) – Positive Networks, the leading hosted, managed remote access and endpoint security solution, today announced Technology Week Magazine has honored the company’s PositivePRO secure remote access solution with a coveted “20 Best Business Product of 2006” Award. The PositivePRO service was featured in the January 22nd, 2007 edition of Technology Week Magazine with other winning products from Ironport, NEC, Netgear, RIM, 3COM, and other leading technology companies.
The PositivePRO service provides a cost-effective and easy-to-use secure remote access alternative to expensive SSL VPN security appliances for organizations of all sizes. PositivePRO allows remote and mobile workers to securely access business-critical data and applications. Appliances are difficult to install, configure, manage and maintain, especially as users are added, deleted or change status. In contrast, PositivePRO is a service that requires a software download and no hardware to configure, manage or maintain.
“Companies seeking a secure virtual private network (VPN) product without the high costs of an appliance should check out this impressive service from Positive Networks,” said Ken Durham, editor, Technology Week. “Our review noted that this service scales easily for organizations of all sizes without limitations on the number of users connected to the service. This makes it an exceptionally good value for organizations of all sizes that have a number of remote or mobile workers.”
“We are honored that Technology Week selected PositivePRO as one of the best 20 business products of 2006,” said Tim Sutton, CEO, Positive Networks. “This publication has tested numerous leading technology products in 2006, and to be in the same peer group of companies as 3COM, Netgear, RIM, and other leading technology companies is an honor. We are delighted with this new award.”
