Reconnex Selected As A Top "Government Pick" In VARBusiness Magazine
VARBusiness Recognizes Reconnex, Cisco, and Citrix as the Top Three Security Solutions for Government Agencies
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 13, 2005— Reconnex, the expert in enterprise risk management systems, today announced that its Reconnex inSight platform was noted as one of VARBusiness magazine’s "Government Picks" in the publication’s July 11 issue. Based on feedback from GTSI Corp., one of the leading providers of technology solutions to governments worldwide, VARBusiness reported that Reconnex’s inSight platform joined Cisco’s (Nasdaq: CSCO) Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 5500 and Citrix System’s (Nasdaq: CTXS) Access Suite 4.0 as one of the top three most popular security and access products amongst GTSI’s government customers.
In light of the increased amount of breaches involving sensitive information, governments are facing more demanding security requirements than ever before while also needing to provide trusted access to remote and mobile users. As more people are granted access to governments’ data, the threat of a trusted insider who could leak sensitive and classified data increases greatly. In order to control the insider threat, governments are increasingly mandated to deploy solutions like Reconnex’s inSight platform that can monitor and protect their assets without impeding the information flow.
"The government has been under a great deal of pressure to share certain information for increased productivity and safeguard other information from unauthorized users," says Scott Spencer, director of the Enterprise Software and Security Technology, GTSI.
"Governments are often the first movers in deploying the best possible technology available, so this is an incredible validation that Reconnex can manage the risk within any organization in any industry," said Donald J. Massaro, CEO Reconnex Corporation. "Reconnex was selected because of our unprecedented ability to protect confidential information in the interest of national security. Reconnex’s inSight platform is the only risk management product on the market that meets the strict requirements of today’s government security needs of gigabit performance, superior forensics capabilities, and scalability."
Unlike software-based risk management products, Reconnex’s hardware-based architecture is the only passive product that enables detection at gigabit line speeds while ensuring that it will not take a government’s network down or impede the flow of information. Other software-based solutions run on an often insecure Windows platform and require extensive patch management, which is not satisfactory for government installations. Reconnex’s purpose-built hardware ensures security, monitors all network traffic regardless of protocol at gigabit speed, and will not interrupt network performance.
