October 16, 2007
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-October 16, 2007- Securent, Inc., the award-winning leader in the Entitlement Management market, today announced that the Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and highly respected voice on security-related products and technologies, has named Securent's Entitlement Management Solution (EMS) as a 2008 Global Product Excellence Award finalist in four distinct categories.
More than 11,000 IT administrators and end-users chose to make their voices heard by voting for the products they trust most when it comes to protecting their valuable digital resources. As a result, the influential publication named Securent EMS a finalist in the following categories: Global Excellence in Access Solution, Global Excellence in Policy Management, Global Excellence in Security Solution for Finance and Global Excellence in Entitlement Management.
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on January 30, 2008 during TECHNOSIUM 2008 (www.technosium.com) at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, Calif. Last year, voters chose Securent EMS as the winner in three Global Excellence Award categories including the top product in Entitlement Management, Policy Management, and leading Security Solution for Government.
"As a finalist in four categories, Securent is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with companies many times its size. We think it's just fabulous that smaller companies like Securent are showing up alongside bigger companies on our list," said Rake Narang, Managing Editor of Info Security Products Guide. "This is a real indication of the trust end users or consumers have in Securent's products. By casting their votes, they've said that they trust Securent EMS to play a key role in the protection of their valuable information. We congratulate Securent for creating such a deep reservoir of trust with end users around the world."
Securent EMS enables organizations to secure sensitive applications and data with ease and precision. For the first time, organizations can benefit from a proven XACML standard-based solution to create, enforce, review, and audit fine-grained access policies across heterogeneous application and IT environments distributed throughout the enterprise, all with centralized management and visibility. Securent provides a more scalable and cost-effective alternative to custom coding of fine-grained access controls into applications. Loosely coupling entitlements with application services, Securent EMS is also a key infrastructure service in an effective SOA deployment. The results, as seen in Fortune 1000 deployments, include improved security and compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Basel Capital Accord (Bas el II), and the National Association of Securities Dealers Rule 2711 (NASD 2711).
