2011 may have become synonymous with a series of high-profile security breaches online, but 2012 is about shaping the cloud computing industry to ensure the problem is safe-guarded against as best as possible. Cybercrime has long been an issue for the digital world, but cloud computing providers are leading the way in developing security technology to combat the criminals, and this will be the core focus for judges of this year's Best Security Solution.
In 2011, our judging panel awarded the Best Security Solution to Navajo Systems for its cloud security product, Virtual Private SaaS (VPS):
“This award is another important confirmation that our proprietary technology provides the ideal way for companies to use cloud applications without worrying about regulatory compliance or data privacy,” said Dan Gross, CEO of Navajo Systems, in relation to winning the 2011 award.
“As the market learns more about our unique Cloud Encryption Gateway approach, we expect to become an important accelerator of cloud adoption by enterprises, particularly in industries and jurisdictions where data protection regulations have proved to be a significant entry barrier to the cloud.”
