DALLAS — March 8, 2016 — Masergy Communications Inc., announced today that the Info Security Products Guide has named the company’s Unified Enterprise Security (UES) a Gold winner in the Security Products and Solutions, Enterprise category. Masergy’s UES was spotlighted for its sophisticated cyber-threat management solutions that collect, analyze and predict patterns in network behavior associated with hacking attempts. As the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, Info Security Products reviews hundreds of cyber security solutions every year. This year, Masergy’s UES rose to the top of the list due to its patented adaptive Network Behavioral Analysis technology.
