SECNAP Introduces Managed Network Security Service

In order to optimize budgets, operational coverage, and return on investment, enterprises are choosing to balance the security load between in-house staff and third-party experts. Enterprise security managers are continuously being challenged with information technology budgets. An increase in demand for managed network security services is therefore being seen by SECNAP Network Security.

According to Michael Scheidell who is the founder and chief technology officer of SECNAP Network Security, in the past five months this demand has increased considerably. Scheidell observed that reliable intrusion detection and intrusion prevention services are being actively needed by organizations in a wide range of industries. These services are provided and managed by proven security experts at attractive ROI.

The Edge Attack Sensor Network and Smart Alert Filter along with several other features are included in the patented network security technology of Scheidell. As compared to managed security service providers or MSSPs, a higher standard of network security is therefore provided.

Signature-based, general public licensed, Snort licensed and SECNAP custom rules are combined by one of the largest active rule databases in the industry. As compared to other typical solutions, more threats can be therefore detected and identified by the SECNAP intrusion detection and intrusion prevention system. The leakage of company data to the outside is blocked with extrusion prevention features of SECNAP Managed Network Security Service.

The potential for human error in identifying and responding to threats is dramatically reduced with these unique, integrated features. Reduced labor and overhead costs; improved productivity among information technology staffs; and operational transparency are some of the client benefits. Other benefits include customizable support, robust reporting tools, remote configuration and onsite hardware service.

In a release, Scheidell said, “To do it yourself, or pay someone else to do it—that is the question facing Information Technology organizations today. As they try to stretch budgets and do more with less, IT managers, CIOs and CSOs are opting to engage expert managed network security resources.”

Scheidell added that it is sensible to get 24/7/365 network monitoring and response without having to staff three shifts. As compared to doing it all in-house, the ROI is also better with SECNAP Managed Network Security Service.
