FOXBORO, Mass., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Axeda Corporation, the secure
remote service and support company, today announced that Axeda(R)
ServiceLink(TM) 5 has received the VeriSign(R) Security Certification for the
second consecutive year. VeriSign is the leading provider of security and

validates that Axeda's internal security practices and technology meets the
ISO 27002/27001:2005 and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)
standards around security and control for manufacturers and data centers.
"With enterprises collaborating more frequently with vendors and service
providers to maximize system uptime and reduce total cost of ownership, a
secure remote connection has become paramount in preserving network security,"

Gartner. "Security certification from a trusted third party helps enterprises
more confidently adopt a multi-vendor access solution."
