Description Secure Computing doesn't want either your employees or your network security standing idly by. The company provides a variety of network security products, including firewalls (Sidewinder), user identification and authorization software (SafeWord), and Web filtering applications (SmartFilter, Webwasher). Its firewall and virtual private network (VPN) gateways enable companies to securely manage and maintain network access for employees, customers, and partners. The company also provides software that enables network administrators to restrict access to specific Web sites to streamline system resources and improve employee productivity. Secure Computing was acquired by security systems giant McAfee in 2008.
