The M86 Secure Web Gateway (SWG) was selected from hundreds of entries submitted in more than 31 technology categories. Finalists will be reviewed and winners will be chosen by the wide distribution of SC Magazine readers -- security and technology experts from large, medium and small enterprises from all major vertical markets.
"This is one of the most exciting and illuminating award categories, as the finalists have to demonstrate the unique combination of strength in product, organization and fight against cybercrime to secure the vote of our readers," said SC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Illena Armstrong. "Congratulations to those that represent industry leadership not only to SC Magazine editors but the Magazine's real judges: the readers."
M86 continues to lead the market in innovation as the M86 SWG is the only solution with real-time malware content inspection technology and proven to detect attacks that evade traditional Web security solutions. The M86 SWG identifies and blocks known, unknown, evolving, obfuscated and dynamically generated malicious code, going beyond simple "block and allow" rules to remove malicious script from compromised legitimate Web pages without blocking the website. It then delivers safe, formatted content to the end user, enabling a secure and productive work environment.
"According to our research, more than 85% of today's legitimate websites are infected in some form with malware. That is a staggering number from just a few years ago and speaks to the dynamic Web threat landscape facing organizations and security teams today," said William Kilmer, Chief Marketing Officer, M86 Security. "We at M86 Security are committed to providing the market with the best security solutions aimed at combating new and emerging Web-based threats and couldn't be prouder that the readers of SC Magazine recognize our efforts and have placed their trust in M86."
