SECNAP Network Security Named Finalist for Hot Company, Best Product and CTO of the Year Awards

Network Products Guide Announces 2011 Award Finalists – SECNAP Places in Three Categories

Boca Raton, FL, March 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Finalists have been announced in all major categories for the Network Products Guide 2011 Awards, and SECNAP Network Security has been named among the Hot Company, Best Products and Services, and CTO of the Year award finalists.

Winners in all categories will be announced at the awards dinner on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, during the InterOp 2011 Conference being held May 8 to 12, 2011, at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas.

In nominating SECNAP founder and chief technology officer, Michael Scheidell, for the 2011 CTO of the Year award, his team described Scheidell as “a creative thinker with a guiding vision and hands-on work ethic, who has created a culture that is an incubator for innovation.”

Since founding the security technology firm in 2001, Michael Scheidell has developed a powerful network intrusion detection and intrusion prevention solution (IDS IPS) for which he was granted a patent in 2009, as well as award-winning antispam/antivirus appliances and cloud-based services. Most recently, he broke through the email encryption noise to create an email privacy solution that is designed for both personal and enterprise use, and supports the universe of smartphones, mail-enabled mobiles, computers and tablets, including PCs and Macs.

Scheidell’s patented network security technology includes the Edge Attack Sensor Network and Smart Alert Filter, in addition to several other features that deliver a higher standard of network security than is typically available from managed security service providers (MSSPs). The Edge Attack Sensor Network is a unique early warning system that detects new trends and attack vectors at the edge of the Internet, while the Smart Alert Filter instantly reduces false positives by more than 98 percent and automatically identifies compromised network devices, making it one of the most efficient IDS IPS solutions on the market today. Leveraging what may be the largest active rule database in the industry—combining signature-based, general public licensed, Snort licensed and SECNAP custom rules—the SECNAP intrusion detection and intrusion prevention system is able to detect and identify more threats than typical solutions, and in virtually real time.

The Network Products Guide awards were created to honor the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and IT professionals worldwide in every area. As the industry’s leading technology research and advisory publication, the Network Products Guide plays a vital role in keeping decision makers and users informed of the choices that are available to them in all areas of the dynamic information technology field.
