Posted on: Wednesday, 13 July 2005, 12:00 CDT

NEW YORK, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Light Reading ( http://www.lightreading.com/ ) today launched an online directory of network security products, with the goal of helping prospective purchasers identify products in this rapidly evolving market.

The directory already lists 148 products from 41 vendors, and more entries are being added daily. It will be available not only on Light Reading, but also on its affiliated Websites -- Byte & Switch (storage networking), Unstrung (wireless infrastructure), and the Next-gen Data Center Forum (data center technology) -- which collectively address several hundred thousand readers.

"The network security market is becoming a jungle, as new products and companies emerge and mergers and acquisitions continue," says Peter Heywood, Founding Editor of Light Reading. "This research tool will help readers keep pace with developments by identifying products that meet their requirements."

Access to the directory is free of charge to registered users of Light Reading or its affiliates. To view the Security Product Directory, visit:
