Untangle Wins Best SME Security Solution at 2020 SC Awards

SAN JOSE, Calif.– March 3, 2020 – Untangle® Inc., a leader in comprehensive network security for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and distributed enterprises, today announced that the Untangle NG Firewall has been honored as the “Best SME Security Solution” by SC Magazine at the 2020 SC Awards.

Now in its 24th year, the SC Awards are recognized as the industry gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products and services. Announced in conjunction with the RSA® Conference 2020 in San Francisco, the Excellence Awards were chosen by an expert panel of judges with extensive knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity industry.

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by the SC Awards committee for Best SME Security Solution for our NG Firewall,” said Scott Devens, CEO at Untangle. “Cybercriminals don’t discriminate. Underfunded, understaffed municipalities, local school districts and small businesses all fall victim to malicious attacks and the consequences can be enormous. The continued accolades we receive for our innovative and cost-conscious security solutions in the SMB space is a testament that we are committed to providing dedicated IT security, regardless of budget or resources.”

More than 40,000 SMBs use Untangle as their bodyguard against big cyber bullies. Untangle’s Network Security Framework provides cloud-managed security and connectivity options that ensure protection, monitoring and control across the entire digital attack surface from headquarters to network edge. Untangle’s flagship product, NG Firewall, provides scalable unified threat management capabilities, with the ability to set policies for specific devices or people, but without the need to maintain additional hardware.

“SMBs continue to struggle with IT security due to budget and workforce limitations,” continued Devens. “But that doesn’t mean they don’t stand a chance against bad actors. Untangle is proud to offer complete network security solutions for SMBs and we look forward to continuing our growth and innovation in this space.”
