LAS VEGAS - Entrust Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTU), the leading global provider of Internet security services and solutions, captured the "2001 Well-Connected Award" from Network Computing, a CMP Media LLC magazine, at a gala event held last night at the NetWorld+Interop Spring 2001 trade show in Las Vegas.
Entrust received the award in the public-key infrastructure (PKI) category for its Entrust/Authority 5.1, the certification authority component of the Entrust/PKI? system. PKI technology, pioneered by Entrust, makes it safer and more secure to do business over the Internet. After performing extensive product evaluations, Network Computing chose Entrust/Authority 5.1 based on its innovative and comprehensive security management capabilities.
"No other annual awards program in the industry uses hand-on evaluations to choose its winners," said Fritz Nelson, Publisher of CMP's Network Computing. "Our editors worked at length to research and test the best offerings in the enterprise arena. Being named a 'Well-Connected Award' winner is a true reflection of product quality rather than merely product popularity or marketing effectiveness."
"We're pleased that Network Computing, which holds products to the highest possible performance standards, has recognized Entrust's product as the industry leader in Internet security," said F. William Conner, president and chief executive officer, Entrust Technologies. "For customers who put their most critical services online and absolutely must have best-of-breed Internet security, our product performance will ensure that their electronic business has the highest-level of protection.
"This honor continues the award-winning tradition of our Internet security products. In recent years, Entrust has won three awards from Network Computing, and has received Network Magazine's prestigious "Product of the Year" award three out of the last five years."
