Network Products Guide, an industry-leading publication on information technologies and solutions, has named the Cruzer Enterprise with McAfee as a winner of its 2009 Product Innovation Awards, in the Portable Media category.

These awards recognize vendors whose innovative products bring essential changes to the information technology industry.  The Cruzer Enterprise with McAfee, introduced in October 2008, was the first USB security solution with onboard anti-virus scanning, protecting against worms, viruses and trojans that spread via removable storage media.

This capability is now a key element in endpoint and network security, thanks to the growth in malware which spreads via removable storage, including the Downadup / Conficker worm.
