Bethesda, Md., 18 April, 2007-KoolSpan, the Information Security industry's leading innovator of embeddable security technology for network-aware devices, today announced it has been named a Best Emerging Technology winner by the readers and editors of TechTarget's Information Security Magazine and SearchSecurity.com.

More than 340 products in 15 product categories were evaluated.

In spotlighting the winning selections in its April edition, Information Security Magazine editors heralded KoolSpan's technology innovation: "Kool isn't just cute marketing. Information Security's product review (April 2006) says it all: 'KoolSpan's SecurEdge is a remarkably versatile and innovative product for securing connectivity.' Using this single security platform, you can secure remote user access, VoIP and WiFi, transparently bridge branch offices to your headquarters, and encrypt connections across some or all of your network."

From data centers to global enterprises, KoolSpan's two-factor authentication solutions can be used to secure VoIP calls, provide protected remote access, secure Wi-Fi in offices and public hotspots, and secure Ethernet for multi-site bridging or backbone encryption across private or public networks.

"KoolSpan is honored to be named a Best Emerging Technology winner by the expert readers of Information Security magazine," said KoolSpan CEO Tony Fascenda. "Such mounting industry-wide recognition continues to further our market leading position as the vendor-of-choice for enterprises in search of highly innovative, ultra-secure technology solutions for network-aware devices."
