Independent Analyst Firm Positions AppGate at the Forefront of IT Management Disruption in 2008 Enterprise Security and Mobility Preview Reports

Stockholm, Sweden (PRWEB) January 9, 2008 -- AppGate Network Security today announced that it was recognized in The 451 Group's 2008 preview reports on the enterprise security and mobility sectors. The 451 Group is an independent technology industry analyst company focused on the business of enterprise IT innovation. The independent report credits AppGate Network Security as a company at the forefront of disruption both in Enterprise Security and in Mobility.

"AppGate Network Security, which is taking an entirely different approach to how both enterprise security and the mobile VPN market will evolve. Both our security research team and the mobile team like AppGate's approach and we believe the company could make inroads in 2008," said Nick Selby, Analyst with The 451 Group, in his report. These comments appeared in an independent report, titled, "2008 Preview - Enterprise Security" which was published in December 2008.

AppGate's unique security model takes a different approach to enterprise security. The Secure Access Platform provides a single solution to many security problems. AppGate moves security away from the perimeter, integrating all the necessary security elements into one easy to manage, comprehensive solution.

The core of the AppGate solution is to protect information and to give controlled access. Over the years, AppGate has been able to push the limits of what was believed to be possible in one solution. Instead of using multiple security systems with poor integration, AppGate does it all in one box that includes Network Access Control, Mobile VPN, Remote Access and Internal Secure Domains.

Goran Marby, CEO at AppGate says, "I am very proud when industry experts such as The 451 Group recognises our efforts to change the model for secure access. For too long companies and organisations have paid too much for access solutions that have delivered low flexibility and often low security as well. Customers have realised that something is wrong with the current model and now solutions such as ours, and others that are named in The 451 Group preview reports, are starting to change the industry."
