PFU Systems Named Best Security Product/Solution for Canada in 2015 Annual Info Security Products Guide Global Excellence Awards

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - May 4, 2015) - PFU Systems Inc., a Fujitsu company and provider of network access control and security technology, is taking home the Gold for Best Security Product and Solution for Canada from the 2015 Info Security Products Guide Global Excellence Awards held in San Francisco during the security industry's annual RSA Conference.

The award is the latest recognition for iNetSec Smart Finder (www.inetsec.com), the all-in-one network appliance widely considered the ideal solution for protecting Canadian business networks. iNetSec Smart Finder is available through PFU Systems' strong distribution partner program in this growing market, in which small and medium-sized enterprises across all industries are a major force, in sectors such as healthcare, education and legal.

PFU has actively grown its partner program with companies like Foreseeson IT Distribution, the Vancouver-based boutique distributor specializing in advanced security, surveillance and Unified Threat Management (UTM). The Canadian market initiative is integral to the company's expanding North American strategy.

iNetSec Smart Finder is the first comprehensive, easily-deployable endpoint visibility and network access solution integrating layer 7 application management and behavioral detection of advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks to automatically detect and immediately block malware spread and command-and-control driven attacks designed to steal data from today's networks.

"We're honored that iNetSec's advanced threat detection/containment and comprehensive network access are recognized by Info Security Products, and are particularly gratified by our growing popularity with Canadian enterprises determined to fully protect both critical data and their IT operational efficiency," said Carmine Clementelli, network security product evangelist for PFU Systems.

iNetSec Smart Finder analyzes and stops advanced malware by detecting behaviors associated with APTs and malicious programs, including East-West communications patterns within a company's network. Its wired and wireless device discovery, classification and management help protect the BYOD environment, and assist in BYOA (Bring Your Own Application) management.

More than 50 judges across a broad spectrum of industry voices, from around the world, participated, and their average scores determined the 2015 Global Excellence Awards Finalists and Winners.
