17 December 2014

NetIQ today announced that NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5 has been selected as a winner in the 2014 Government Security News (GSN) Homeland Security Awards Program in the category of "Best Identity Management Platform." Additionally, NetIQ Sentinel™ 7.2 was named as a finalist in the category of "Best Security Incident & Event Management Solution." The prestigious GSN awards program honors the most outstanding technologies and innovations of homeland security solutions providers, as well as the most notable programs, projects, and initiatives of government agencies at federal, state, county, and municipal levels.

"It's a changing and dangerous world," said Government Security News CEO Adrian Courtenay. "But, the winning vendor companies and government agencies in the 2014 program have once again risen to the challenge with brilliant new technologies and strategies. The GSN awards program places a high value on innovation, but that's not enough. The products, services and initiatives have to be proven to work as intended in the real world before they can be recognized by GSN."

"NetIQ's mission is to enable our customers to balance the needs for extremely convenient access to information and resources their employees demand, with proper protection of organizations' sensitive information," said Travis Greene, Identity and Access Solutions Strategist, NetIQ. "GSN's recognition of NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5 and Sentinel™ 7.2 is a testament to the growing importance and need for identity-powered security as a part of an organization's overall security program."
