Network Box was honored to be presented the Personal Computer World Recommended label, in its review of the Network Box SME 250 Security Appliance.

?Any updates required were pushed out and applied automatically and, when we turned the unit off, we were quickly advised by phone and asked to switch it back on. There?s also a 24-hour helpdesk should you need one-to-one assistance. To check security, we downloaded dummy viruses, visited known spyware and other categorised sites, and pulled down mail using accounts with a known high spam content. All were blocked and filtered as expected and we were impressed with the level of protection.?

ZDNet UK has awarded the Network Box SME 250 it's editors' choice award. "On the face of it, a managed security service seems like a good idea -- simply pay someone else to protect your network rather than do it all yourself. However, such services can be expensive and, because you can?t see what?s going on, it?s hard to know whether you?re actually getting what you?ve paid for. This is not the case with Network Box, which delivers its security services via a locally configured appliance that can be monitored independently to see exactly what you?re getting for your money", writes ZDNet UK.

The C3 EXPO "Best of Show 2005" award for Best Enterprise Service went to Network Box and the Network Box team in USA.

In presenting the award to Network Box, Tom Henderson, Managing Director of ExtremeLabs and one of C3?s judges, commented, ?Today?s network security and network management needs have spawned multiple independent industries, each of which protects one piece or component. Network Box collapses these myriad devices into a single set of appliances sized by traffic, and refocuses security, intrusion detection, and identity/encryption management into a single appliance.? Mr. Henderson went on to say that Network Box services should be a ?thrill for administrators ? going crazy from trying to unite their security applications.?

C3 EXPO is the world's premier corporate and channel buying event and was held on June 28th to 30th, 2005, at Jacob K. Javits Center, NYC, USA.
