WOBURN, Mass., April 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc., creator of the world's most widely used remote connectivity and support services, announced today that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world's leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named LogMeIn Hamachi a winner of the 2007 Global Product Excellence in VPN Customer Trust Award.
This customer trust honor is the greatest endorsement to the fact that LogMeIn Hamachi is ahead of the curve when it comes to the best-of-the-best products that can provide the highest security in VPNs. More than 18,000 end-users and prospective customers worldwide were invited to vote for the products that they trust the most when it comes to protecting their digital resources.
LogMeIn Hamachi provides users (remote employees, branch offices, consultants, even customers) access to traditional network resources such as intranets and shared folders as well as support and diagnostic tools. It takes less than a minute to set up, requires no firewall or router reconfiguration, and delivers a VPN connection over a direct, secure point-to-point link.
"Security products have continued to evolve rapidly in the past few years and advanced technologies are now making it possible to take a pro-active approach to most security scenarios," said Rake Narang, Managing Editor of Info Security Products Guide. "End-users or consumers of these products have to deal with real-live threats which may differ vastly from lab simulated environments. These users build a strong 'Customer Trust' for products that best meet their requirements and therefore also play a key role in the security evolution cycle."
"We are honored that Hamachi received this award from Info Security Products Guide and its readers," said Marton Anka, CTO of LogMeIn, Inc. "Our product development practices are built on solid foundations: advancing the ability to connect hard-to-reach devices, ensuring the utmost simplicity with regards to the user experience, and keeping that access secure without compromises."
