"I am proud that Network Magazine has recognized PERMIT Enterprise with this award, but even without the awards we've won this year, I am proud of what TimeStep has accomplished," said Tim Hember, president and CEO, TimeStep. "Our people have developed the best VPN technology available on the market today. Period. No one else in the industry is able to deploy large-scale installations with the same level of performance and reliability."
