AppGate Network Security today announced that a Silicon Valley Communications publication and a world leading publication on technologies and solutions, Network Products Guide, has named Secure Mobile Office a winner of the 2008 Product Innovation Award. Vendors from all over the world with innovative and ground breaking products that are bringing essential and incremental changes and are setting the bar higher for others in all areas of information technology, are recognized and honored by this annually venerated award.

Since it actually sets up a secure VPN tunnel between the user's mobile phone and the operator and between the operator and the customer's gateway, AppGate Secure Mobile Office is not just a simple push email solution. After a network failure with no need for the user to log in again, the system has built in support for roaming and the phone client automatically reconnects to the system. It is possible to change the IP-address and it is even possible to move between networks without having to log in again, all in a completely secure manner.

Editor-n-chief, Network Products Guide, Rake Narang, declared: "The goal of any product innovation must always remain a positive change, making or improving solutions better than before". "Innovative products such as Secure Mobile Office are bringing improvements of security and mobility, usually two entities that normally are hard to combine"

CEO at AppGate Network Security, Goran Marby, commented: "Network Products Guide's recognition of Secure Mobile Office further validates our product as excellence-in-class and ahead of the curve. Demand for secure mobile services is increasing, and creating challenges as the borders between the outside and inside of the company network is disappearing and what mobile access means is hard to define". Marby continues: "Product innovation is key to our continued commitment to meeting our customer needs and providing them with solutions that are ground-breaking".
