RedCannon Security KeyPoint Alchemy Named 2007 Editor’s Best Award Winner by Windows IT Pro
FREMONT, Calif., August 15, 2007 - RedCannon Security, a trusted provider of centrally-managed, secure mobile-access solutions for the enterprise, today announced that RedCannon KeyPoint Alchemy™ was named as a winner of the “Editor’s Best Awards” in security by Penton Media’s Windows IT Pro®.
“The 2007 Editor’s Best Awards utilize our editors' product knowledge and subject matter expertise to identify exceptional products that have been covered in the pages of Windows IT Pro and its online newsletters, and which benefit the Windows IT Pro reader community,” said Kim Paulsen, group publisher.
The “Editors Best Awards” recognize outstanding products that have been covered in the pages of Windows IT Pro and its online newsletters. The awards started as a way to use editors’ product knowledge and subject expertise in helping benefit the Windows IT Pro reader community and fulfilling the magazine’s mission. The editors of Windows IT Pro magazine selected one winning product in each of the 13 areas of editorial expertise.
“In a year in which data leakage was a hot topic and stories about companies losing control of thousands of customer records became a staple of the nightly news, security vendors rose to the challenge, offering encryption and other protection solutions for data that's stored and accessed within the enterprise as well as traveling with an increasingly mobile workforce,” said Renee Munshi, editor at Windows IT Pro.
A recent study shows that there are approximately 55 million mobile workers in North America, which translates into nearly 45 percent of the total workforce. Organizations are looking for the best ways to empower this group, but, IT departments are concerned about the potential security risks involved in large mobile deployments. RedCannon KeyPoint Alchemy transforms any USB Flash Drive into a trusted corporate access and storage device. KeyPoint extends security policy beyond the network perimeter with the convenience of an easy-to-use appliance. From provisioning, to password reset, to remote destruction, KeyPoint Alchemy delivers a policy driven environment for USB device management and protection.
“We are honored to receive these accolades from Windows IT Pro which emphasize the importance of mobile data security, and validate the strength of our solutions in preventing data leakage,” said John Jefferies, vice president of marketing at RedCannon. “We strive to empower workers with the efficiency of mobile devices, while enabling IT professionals to remotely manage these units, secure the data stored on them, and control access to the corporate network.”
