Red Condor Wins InfoWorld 2009 Technology of the Year Award

ROHNERT PARK, CA--(Marketwire - January 15, 2009) - Red Condor, the award-winning provider of fully managed email security solutions, today announced that its Message Assurance Gateway (MAG) appliance has won the 2009 Technology of the Year Award from InfoWorld magazine. The InfoWorld awards, which are given annually to the best hardware and software products evaluated by InfoWorld's Test Center, were announced on January 13, 2008. Red Condor's MAG device was recognized in the Networking and Security category for the best anti-spam appliance.

"Given the competitive nature of the email security marketplace and the number of products reviewed each year by InfoWorld, we couldn't be happier to stand above the crowd and receive this award," said Dr. Thomas Steding, president and CEO of Red Condor. "Since 2007, more than 12,000 businesses, colleges, and service providers with over 2 million end-users have started to use our technology; more than 85 percent of them switching from well-known industry competitors. Our growth and this industry recognition are compliments to the entire Red Condor team and are major steps in helping get the visibility our solutions merit."

The Technology of the Year award was supported by a review by Roger Grimes, security advisor at InfoWorld. In his October 2008 review, he stated that the Red Condor MAG appliance was "easily the lowest maintenance of any anti-spam filter I've reviewed." Grimes also wrote, "The MAG 2000's anti-spam rate was so accurate that I called Red Condor to see if they were manually inspecting my mail to make sure the rates were highly accurate for the review. The office thought I was crazy. And I guess that pretty much sums up the MAG 2000's anti-spam effectiveness. It was so good I was accusing the vendor of cheating."

Red Condor's anti-spam appliances provide enterprise-level email security for small to medium-sized businesses, universities, and Internet service providers. The company helps reduce customers' operating costs by delivering hands-off, easy-to-use, and fully managed products. The MAG anti-spam appliances also provide resiliency and redundancy with Red Condor's hybrid Vx Technology, which leverages in-the-cloud computing for load sharing, disaster recovery and fail-safe operation.

Steding added, "Our focus has always been on delivering the most cost-effective and accurate anti-spam appliances and hosted services in the industry. Our results, customer feedback and retention, as well as the InfoWorld review and award, continue to validate our efforts."
