BHI Advanced Internet announced that Info Security Products Guide, a publication on security-related products and technologies, named SecureConnect a finalist for the 2010 Global Product Excellence Awards in the compliance category. These prestigious global awards recognize security and IT vendors with advanced, ground-breaking products and solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of technology.

Chosen as a finalist because of its performance within the restaurant and hospitality industries, SecureConnect offers secure and PCI compliant networks. The 2010 Global Product Excellence Award winners will be honored on March 18 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

SecureConnect is unique because it is a comprehensive service that offers unmatched performance, flexibility, and value within the industry. Using a turnkey approach, SecureConnect managed services have been packaged to meet the many technical needs of multi-site retail business owners. As a fully managed network security solution, BHI provides a consistent network infrastructure that protects a merchant’s cardholder data environment from the public Internet, keeping data secure. With the SecureConnect easyPCI packages, a business owner benefits from a complete service offering including a managed firewall, VPN, Web filtering and content control, firewall logging, and 24x7x365 proactive monitoring and support. Further, based on the package chosen, additional PCI compliance services are available, including file integrity monitoring, device logging and reporting, PCI vulnerability scanning, and an Information Security Policy template—all of which are critical for successful PCI compliance and security initiatives.
