SAN JOSE, Calif., November 14, 2006 – Fiberlink Communications Corporation, the trusted expert for simple, secure mobile working, received the 2006 Award of Merit from the Society for New Communications Research in the Business category for its “Anatomy of a Hack” new communications initiative. Fiberlink was honored by the Society for its innovative use of social and collaborative media, employed as part of a strategic mobile security campaign to generate awareness for Fiberlink, initiate conversations with prospective customers, and enhance relationships with existing customers.

To date, Fiberlink’s “Anatomy of a Hack” campaign has received an overwhelming response from IT and Security professionals around the world who need credible and actionable information on endpoint security.

“In a market that is saturated with reports and whitepapers from seemingly hundreds of technology companies, breaking through the clutter is an ongoing and significant challenge,” said Jim Somers, Fiberlink vice president of marketing. “By delivering relevant, educational content to busy technology professionals in a timely manner, we believe our message is resonating and Fiberlink is perceived as a valuable resource.”

In “Anatomy of a Hack,” Fiberlink expert ethical hacker, Daniel V. Hoffman, CISSP, CWNA, CEH demonstrates a series of contemporary mobile endpoint attacks. In an online video demonstration, Mr. Hoffman shows the steps many hackers follow to exploit mobile and remote systems that lack proper security protection. A companion guide titled “Real World Threats” provides viewers with a series of best practices on how to properly safeguard mobile computing devices and the corporate network. Furthermore, the guide offers information on how Fiberlink’s Extend360 Mobility Platform™ can ensure that mobile devices are protected at all times from hackers, viruses, loss, theft, “data leakage” and other hazards brought on by mobile computing.

“Today’s savvy communications professionals recognize the need for innovative and breakthrough new media practices to develop, grow and enhance customer relationships,” commented Mike Manuel, SNCR Best Practices committee chairman. “We commend Fiberlink for their successful use of diversified and targeted communications tools to get an important security message to IT professionals faced with the challenge of securing their mobile working environment.”
