Hostway Provides Network Security Solutions to SMBs

Hostway (News - Alert) and StillSecure have teamed to offer an expanded selection of data and network security solutions for customers through a partnership with StillSecure.

Hostway, an infrastructure-as-a-service and cloud hosting service provider, has added eight new standard security packages ranging from economical multi-tenant options to solutions designed to support PCI (News - Alert) compliance initiatives.

Collaboration between the two companies has resulted into an introductory package, which provides an advanced network firewall, SSL VPN remote access, patch management and vulnerability scanning utilizing a multi-tenant deployment model.

Multi-tenant and dedicated bundles are also available including a range of combinations of intrusion detection and/or prevention, log management, file integrity monitoring and a web application firewall.

StillSecure's PCI Complete solution is also available to help businesses comply with the managed security sub-requirements defined in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

"Security is at the forefront of nearly every infrastructure discussion we have with clients and prospects. Prior to this release, most of those conversations diverged on security "needs" and security budgets," said Aaron Hollobaugh, vice president of marketing. "Hostway can now offer flexible, cost-effective managed security services that are market driven and instantly fill a security gap within the managed hosting marketplace."

"Hostway requires a proven partner to deliver best-in-class managed security solutions for each of their critical segments - colo, dedicated, and cloud," said Rajat Bhargava, president and CEO of StillSecure (News - Alert). "Our managed network security solutions are a perfect fit for Hostway because they are already auditor-approved and monitored continuously by our team of security experts. Such an enhanced security level will help Hostway address escalating concerns around network security much more effectively, as well as provide a solution set to customers that is comprehensive and cost effective."

Looking forward, both companies will team on providing comprehensive cloud security solutions for both private and public cloud (FlexCloud) hosting.
