Jacky’s Electronics was awarded as the ‘Best Security Implementation Project of the Year’ during the recent Network Middle East Innovation Awards 2011 for implementing a successful security project that addressed its dynamic needs and securing its network from any online and software threats.

Last year, Jacky’s has deployed SonicWALL’s United Threat Management (UTM) security solution in order to optimise the bandwidth of its network across its 10 retail outlets and remote warehouse locations in the UAE. This solution allowed Jacky’s to monitor and control network usage, save costs on lease lines and establish content security and integrity.

Kuldeep Walia, Jacky’s Electronics’ IT Manager, received the accolade from ITP Publishing, organisers of the awards, at Dubai’s Grosvenor House Hotel. The annual award, the longest-running of its kind in the Middle East, honoured the best technology providers, professionals and projects in the region illustrating its status a centre of innovation in ICT and networking.
