Winners were announced during the awards dinner and presentation on Feb. 16 in San Francisco during the RSA 2011 Conference.

"Working with Avenda's sales engineering team to deploy our Identity-aware NAC platform has been great," said Chris Ford, network administrator, Brescia University. "They always have answers for me, even when components outside of their own product set need configuration or fine tuning, which is something that most vendors can't provide."

Avenda's award-winning Customer Care Team provides pre- and post-sales design, deployment, and management expertise for customers set on solving identity- and device-related network access security issues. Customer scenarios include use-cases that involve the deployment of Avenda's eTIPS family of products in multi-vendor networks to secure and differentiate access for users, computers, and smartphones, using multiple operating systems and identity stores.
