SECNAP Network Security Wins Technology AwardSouth Florida Business Journal Honors Eight Area Leaders For Driving Technological AdvancementBoca Raton, Fla., June 3, 2008 – SECNAP® Network Security Corporation, a leading provider of network and email security solutions, today announced that it has won the prestigious 2008 Technology Award sponsored by the South Florida Business Journal in conjunction with Citrix and Verizon Wireless, and presented by Host.net. A total of eight awards for technology leadership were presented in categories such as hardware, interactive marketing, and telecommunications. SECNAP Network Security won in the Internet-Based Technology category. Michael Scheidell, president and chief technology officer for SECNAP, accepted the award during a ceremony May 28 at the Hard Rock Improv in Hollywood, Fla. In the nomination, it was noted that the problem of cybercrime is rampant and ongoing. Earlier this year the IRS placed phishing emails (which are aimed at stealing personal financial data) at the top of their list of the 12 most serious tax scams and schemes, and the Federal Trade Commission reported in late 2007 that spam has become a significant global tool in the propagation of financial cybercrime. "In addition to reduced employee productivity, spam takes a significant toll in terms of wasted technical help time, erosion of network bandwidth and storage, and creating the perception that a business is vulnerable to attack," said Scheidell. "Our SpammerTrap® solution addresses this problem by routinely demonstrating 100% effectiveness in blocking spam and delivering valid emails in virtually real time. This exceptional performance, driven by cutting-edge technology, ensures that our email security clients enjoy 24/7 peace of mind." Scheidell continues to aggressively pursue the development of security solutions with impressive results, including patent-pending intrusion detection and prevention technology and the award-winning email security/anti-spam product line.
