COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - April 21, 2009) - Sterling Commerce, an AT&T Inc
(NYSE : T ) company, today announced that Sterling Secure Proxy has won the
2009 Global Product Excellence Award from Info Security Products Guide in
the Secure File Transfer category. Sterling Secure Proxy was recognized
for providing customers with unparalleled security while moving sensitive data across the Internet.
"While the Internet provides organizations with an attractive channel for
file transfer, it is vulnerable to external attacks. Sterling Secure Proxy provides the
required perimeter security to protect the privacy and integrity of data in
transit, and therefore enables companies to build customer confidence and
protect their enterprise brand while still moving the massive amounts of
data that are required to run their business," said Geoff Baird, global
vice president, Managed File Transfer, Sterling Commerce. "We are excited
to see Sterling Secure Proxy recognized by Info Security Products Guide for
its advanced security capabilities. Sterling Secure Proxy was a
significant addition to Sterling Managed File Transfer in 2008 that
leverages our more than 25 years of experience in managed file transfer."
Sterling Secure Proxy is a perimeter security solution for managed file transfer that
protects Internet file transfers with advanced security features, such as
trading-partner authorization and multifactor authentication. It is part
of Sterling Managed File Transfer (MFT), the market-leading
solution for secure data movement that enables enterprises to gain control
over the massive movement of critical corporate data to facilitate data
growth, reduce security risk and improve information technology (IT) and
business efficiency. By enforcing tighter controls, Sterling Secure Proxy
enables the use of the Internet to replace dedicated lines, protecting
companies against theft or compromise of sensitive customer data and
proprietary financial and intellectual property as it moves across the
Internet into an organization's enterprise systems.
"In today's challenging environment, security has to remain a top priority
for businesses who want to stay competitive and provide top levels of
customer service," said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief of Info Security
Products Guide. "We are pleased to honor Sterling Secure Proxy as winner
for 2009 in the area of Secure File Transfer."
