Securing Gold for the “Network Firewalls Innovations” category and Silver for the “Security Hardware (New or Upgrade version) Innovations” category, the Firebox T70 provides full, and FAST, Unified Threat Management (UTM) protection. According to Miercom, the T70 exhibits the best overall throughput performance and even sustains an exceptional level of performance as additional security features and functions are enabled, a feat proven to be unattainable for competing products. With Fireware version 11.12, the T70 has been enhanced with a host of new capabilities including Threat Detection and Response (TDR) v1, which took Silver in the Golden Bridge Awards “Security Service (New or Upgrade version) Innovations” category. TDR is the only security service on the market that pairs detection and response capabilities on the endpoint with a comprehensive set of industry-leading UTM network security services.
On September 18, 2017, winners from across the globe will be honored in San Francisco at the 9th Annual Red Carpet Golden Bridge Awards Ceremony. See the full list of award winners here.
