Government Security News Names Silver Tail Systems as a Winner in Annual Homeland Security Awards

Dec. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Silver Tail Systems, the leader in web session intelligence and behavioral analytics, announced Forensics 3.0 won for Best Forensic Software category in the 2012 Homeland Security Awards competition. Winners were announced at a banquet GSN hosted in a ballroom of the Washington, DC Convention Center on November 29.

By enhancing users’ understanding of online traffic, Forensics 3.0 accelerates their ability to respond to mobile and online threats in real-time and better protect against hacktivism and cybercrime. Minimizing impact when threats do occur for government agencies is exceedingly valuable as they’re working to protect sensitive information, as is the ability to identify and remediate anomalous behavior that threatens data security at the national level.

“Government websites around the world are experiencing a higher volume of targeted and complex threats; new approaches are needed to outpace today's adversaries and cybercriminals,” said Nick Edwards, vice president of marketing, Silver Tail Systems.  “Forensics 3.0 was purpose built for differentiating the legitimate website users from the criminals and hackers.  Web session intelligence enables governments to monitor online and mobile threats in real time, which powers behavioral analytics to stop attacks.  We are honored GSN has acknowledged the value our innovative solution provides to government agencies.”

The winners were selected by a panel of objective judges, according to Jacob Goodwin, editor-in-chief of Government Security News. "We received an outstanding group of entries and have handed winners’ plaques to an exceptional group of companies and government agencies," said Goodwin.
