(Released 27 April 2016) Rockville, MD - Ultra Electronics, 3eTI®, a leading cyber-technology company with products and solutions that secure critical infrastructure and improve operational efficiency, today announced that its product, CyberFence, received "Best Value" honors at the AFCEA Defensive Cyber Operations Symposium April 22 in Washington, DC. This award solidifies the CyberFence value proposition for providing robust and highly vetted security to industrial automation and control systems that shields against cyber-attacks.
CyberFence was one of several carefully evaluated solutions to be celebrated for technical excellence. The solution was reviewed by members of the AFCEA Technology and Cyber committees who chose CyberFence from among more than 60 contending technologies.
“This year's pool of candidates was 20 percent larger than last year's,” said Jim Griggs, vice president, CIO and CTO, AFCEA International. ”CyberFence stood out receiving high marks for delivering advanced information assurance (IA), and for its pedigree solving complex challenges for customers including the US Navy."
“CyberFence goes beyond basic perimeter defense and signature-based detection solutions in ensuring the availability and safety of automation systems. It affordably extends security to the endpoint while leveraging integral industrial protocol-awareness to protect the integrity of data communicated across control networks,” said Benga Erinle, president, 3eTI. "On behalf of 3eTI, I am proud to accept this honor that further validates CyberFence as a world- solution for efficiently securing industrial control systems."
