Infoblox Selected as SC Magazine 2005 Global Reader Trust Award Finalist

Infoblox Inc., the leading developer of network identity infrastructure systems, today announced that its network identity appliance, the Infoblox DNS One, has been selected as a SC Magazine Reader Trust Global Awards 2005 finalist in the "Best Identity Management Solution" category. Reader Trust finalists are selected on the basis of votes received, validation exercises and judges deliberations.

"We are honored to be selected as a SC Magazine Reader Trust finalist," said Richard Kagan, vice president of marketing at Infoblox. "This demonstrates the popularity and value of Infoblox's appliances as critical components of a scalable and secure network identity infrastructure."

SC Magazine, now in its tenth year, is the largest circulating, dedicated information security publication worldwide. Its Global Awards recognize innovative technology products and services from companies around the world. Nominations in the Readers Trust Awards categories were voted on by the readers of the United States, UK/Europe and Asia Pacific editions of SC Magazine over a three-week period in November 2004.

The "Best ID Management Solution" category, which is designed to recognize the most advanced identity management product or service offering, encompasses a range of products in addition to network identity infrastructure, such as single sign-on solutions and federated identity management systems -- all of which can help businesses reduce complexity, cut costs and improve security.

Infoblox DNS One appliances are built to provide the foundation for next-generation network identity services in a secure and easy-to-manage form factor. The hardened appliance design and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) enable the offloading of DNS and DHCP services from general-purpose servers that typically handle multiple functions and require significant administration overhead. Instead, these services can be easily managed by a purpose-built, high-availability (HA) appliance that is inherently secure, reliable and scalable, freeing network administration resources and providing increased security for these critical network identity services.

The winners of the Reader Trust Award, along with the Judges' Awards and the Principal Award categories, will be announced on Feb. 16 at the SC Magazine Awards Ceremony and gala dinner held at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, Calif.
