The Info Security Products Guide Awards recognize and honor excellence in all areas of information security. This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking network security solutions that are setting the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. The guide previously recognized Saflink SAFsolution with the Identity Management Product Excellence Award in January 2006.
"Password-based Windows security systems can create significant security vulnerabilities for businesses of all sizes, yet most of the solutions aimed at addressing this issue are designed for large enterprise customers," said Rick Justice, Chief Technology Editor, Info Security Products Guide. "With EntryPoint, Saflink bridges this product gap by making its enterprise-grade biometric security available in an affordable and scalable package ideal for smaller businesses. Saflink's second award win this year demonstrates the company's ability and commitment to delivering quality technology products that solve real-world security issues."
EntryPoint enables small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to cost- effectively increase security and productivity by replacing Windows passwords, which are easily forgotten or stolen, with alternate authentication technologies. EntryPoint's straightforward administration and implementation allows businesses to "mix and match" technologies to meet various and changing security requirements across an organization. In July 2006, Saflink announced the first two add-on products in a family of EntryPoint solutions to further enhance security in the SMB environment: EP-Connect and EP-Biometric. These products address two of the highest customer concerns -- flexible remote access and increased network security.
"Our customers and reseller partners have increasingly asked for SMB- friendly password replacement solutions," said Tim Wudi, Chief Marketing Officer at Saflink. "We're honored that this award recognizes our efforts to fill this market void by providing SMBs with the same biometric security technology employed by larger organizations."
