Promotion
This article came up in my patrols for articles that mention "Network Products Guide" because this is a pay for play award and its presence is usually indicative of a need for quick cleanup. After the cleanup was reverted, it came up in a search again for "Network Products Guide" so I've added it to my watchlist and took a closer look.

Here's a few things that jumped out at me:
 * The excessive use of the word "secure" without explaining what we mean by that. Isn't there a product review that talks about what encryption it uses or its specific security features?
 * Meaningless promotional words like "comprehensive" and benefits language like "ensuring data security and compliance" or "with the goal of helping organizations..."
 * Describing users of the software can be beneficial for example if we say the number of users or if there is a specific market like "used in heavily regulated industries" but stuff like "which has been adopted by many corporations and government agencies" doesn't impart any meaningful information to the reader other than "some people buy it."
 * Some minor editorializing about the market need, which would actually belong on a different article
 * External links are not allowed in the body of the article

Also, in general we never want an "Accolades" or "Recognition" section, which is almost always indicative of attempts to use Wikipedia for promotion. We do use Reception sections, which report based on in-depth, professional reviews. I note that Info Security Products Guide is a pay for play award and many of these are only "finalist" awards or trivial mentions in info-tainment news. Although there is no formal rule, the standard I was taught is that awards are worthy of inclusion if a profile story on the subject includes them. We would then follow the judgement of the source.
