December 14, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Software giant Microsoft (microsoft.com) announced on Wednesday it has been ranked as a leader in independent research firm Forrester Research's (forrester.com) "Forrester Wave: SSL VPN Appliances, Q4 2006" report published this week.

Microsoft says this is the first time it has been included in this review of the secure sockets layer virtual private networking market and was recognized for its manageability and usability, security support and monitoring and reporting features.

Microsoft's SSL VPN solutions covered in the report included the intelligent application gateway and Microsoft's Internet security and acceleration server. Together, these products provide the cornerstone for the company's overall secure access strategy and platform, says Microsoft, who scored a 4.7 out of a potential 5.0 on product strategy, with the Forrester report noting that, "Microsoft has a very strong vision that involves further integration of its IAG assets into the broader security and access portfolio."

"IT professionals today must balance the need for secure access by a growing mobile work force with protecting applications and network infrastructure. We're committed to providing a comprehensive platform that meets both of these needs cost-effectively," says Margaret Arakawa, senior director of the security and access product group at Microsoft. "With ISA server and the IAG products, we are able to provide greater value in the areas of security, ease of use and application optimization, and we'll continue working with our partners to bring innovative and flexible solutions to our customers."
