Commitment to Network Security Earns Internet Security Systems the 2006 Company of the Year Award in North American Network Security Infrastructure Pr

Frost & Sullivan recently recognized Internet Security Systems, Inc. (ISS) as the recipient of the 2006 Network Security Infrastructure Protection Company of the Year Award for being the market leader in a number of segments of the security market.

Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to a company that has demonstrated excellence in all operations within its industry. The Award is based on numerous factors including the company's business development, competitive strategy, and leadership within a particular Frost & Sullivan Industry Research Group. This company is perceived to exhibit outstanding management, consistent growth, and positive social and economic impact on local and national communities and customers.

"Being one of the early vendors to recognize the criticality of network security, ISS has continued to innovate and evolve with the market, continually providing proven technology to organizations of all sizes," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Robert Ayoub. "Additionally, ISS continues to be recognized for its technology in a variety of markets, having garnered the Frost & Sullivan Awards for Market Leadership for IDS/IPS, Customer Service Leadership for MSSP, Technology Leadership in Endpoint Security and Market Leadership for Vulnerability Assessment."

ISS offers a wide range of appliances that can scale in speed from 100 Mb/s to 2 Gb/s and can cover both single and multi-segmented network segments. Capturing over a third of the highly competitive worldwide IDS/IPS market is a very impressive achievement, and with the introduction of the Proventia product line, the company continues to show no signs of slowing down in this area. Coupled with active updating and virtual patching from its global X- Force security team, ISS has a powerful offering for its customers.

The company is also the worldwide leader in the vulnerability assessment market, holding over 15 percent of the revenue in that market and having more than 30 percent more revenue than its closest competitor.

ISS has a proven commitment to customer service and support. In fact, they are distinguished for offering the industry's only money-back guarantee, ensuring service provider accountability, integrated X-Force security intelligence, 24X7 global support and expertise, as well as excellent service delivery and response.

"Their MSS portfolio includes Managed and Monitored Firewall and VPN Services, Managed IDS/IPS, Managed Protection Services, Vulnerability Management Services and a full suite of consulting services driven by ISO 19977 methodologies such as Penetration Testing, Assessment Services, Deployment Services and Regulatory Compliance Services," notes Ayoub. "The enhanced infrastructure includes all major security vendor platforms including Checkpoint, Cisco PIX, Cisco IDS, Juniper, McAfee, and more."

For its leadership position in a number of markets, its recognized customer service leadership, and continued innovation in security markets, Frost & Sullivan is proud to bestow the North American Network Security Infrastructure Protection Company of the Year Award to ISS.
