FaceTime Enterprise Edition(TM) Wins SC Magazine Reader Trust Award for Best IM Security

FaceTime Communications, the leading provider of solutions for securing IM, P2P and spyware Greynets, today announced that FaceTime Enterprise Edition(TM) was named Best IM Security solution in SC Magazine's Reader Trust Technology Awards. The prestigious award recognizes the product's position in the eyes of both information security professionals and SC Magazine's judges.

Winners were announced and honored on February 14, 2006 at an awards gala held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif. A judging panel of carefully selected chief security officers (CSOs) examined over 1,300 product and service nominations in a variety of categories. More than 25,000 readers also participated in the selection process, voting on the publication's website for the products they trust for key IT security responsibilities. FaceTime Enterprise Edition rose to the top of the IM Security category, and beat companies such as Akonix, IMLogic and WebSense as the best security solution for instant messaging.

"This clear endorsement by customers, IT professionals and the end-user community validates our commitment to providing best-of-breed security for instant messaging," said Frank Cabri, vice-president of marketing at FaceTime. "With Enterprise Edition, organizations can take advantage of the collaboration benefits of IM while being assured that their network is protected from inbound threats, and powerful controls are in place to prevent information leakage."

FaceTime Enterprise Edition is used by the world's largest organizations to manage, secure and control IM, P2P, spyware and other greynet applications. It provides user policy management, message hygiene, day zero worm protection, comprehensive compliance, and network protection against user circumvention. It can also be configured to detect and prevent spyware infections at the Internet gateway -- before it infects the desktop. Enterprise Edition combines FaceTime's IMAuditor(TM) in the LAN with Real-Time Guardian (TM) at the gateway for a complete, end-to-end security, management and compliance solution. It works with all public and enterprise IM clients. For more information, visit FaceTime.
