Juniper Networks' NetScreen-5GT and -5XT firewall/VPN appliances were named as the 2004 "Products of the Year" in the Security Appliances category by Information Security magazine, SearchSecurity.com and TheInfoPro.
The third annual awards competition was published in this month's issue of Information Security.
"Juniper Networks NetScreen 5 series firewall/VPN appliances hit the bull's eye for remote offices and telecommuters," stated the Gold Award article published in Information Security. "Juniper Networks gave its security initiative instant credibility when it acquired NetScreen Technologies earlier this year. Its products are high performing and highly reliable, and offer the features enterprises look for. Its stateful filtering and Deep Inspection engine detect application attacks and protocol anomalies; the 5GT also features embedded Trend Micro AV protection. Juniper Networks delivers as promised."
The awards were presented by the editors of TechTarget's Information Security, SearchSecurity.com and TheInfoPro (www.theinfopro.net). A panel of security experts, including editors and security managers from more than 270 companies, selected the "Products of the Year" from more than 1,200 security products introduced and shipped in 2004. Winning products were judged on a variety of criteria, including brand and reputation, quality of product and technical support, technical innovation, strategic vision, and competitive positioning.
"The true test of a product is how well it performs once the shrink-wrap is removed," said Larry Walsh, editor, Information Security. "For that reason, the Information Security 'Products of the Year' Awards rely on the evaluations of the infosecurity managers actually using these products. The Information Security 2004 'Products of the Year' Awards honor products that are in place, working as advertised to protect enterprise network infrastructures."
"We are pleased that our NetScreen-5GT and -5XT firewall/VPNs were named as the top security appliances of 2004, especially by such a reputable publication in the security market as Information Security," said David Flynn, vice president of products, Security Products Group, Juniper Networks. "Customers appreciate the recent NetScreen-5GT enhancements such as ADSL support, embedded web filtering, improved application level attack protection, and expanded VoIP security. This is particularly the case in environments where all-in-one security is essential, such as with medium enterprises and large enterprises with widely distributed remote sites."
