ENGLEWOOD,
Colo., Jun 28, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Verio, a subsidiary
of NTT Communications Corporation, and a leading provider
of global IP solutions, today announced that nearly
100 new business customers since January have deployed
the NTT/VERIO IntelliSecurity(R) Managed Solutions suite
of network security services.
The recent expansion of the comprehensive
suite of IntelliSecurity Managed Solutions provides
Verio's customers with enhanced security services, including
an expanded range of managed firewall solutions and
intrusion detection services. With the evidential momentum
of IntelliSecurity, Verio is positioned for continued
growth as a provider of managed security services, working
with industry-leading partners such as Internet Security
Systems.
By utilizing IntelliSecurity, IRM, an
online advertising and marketing firm, has strengthened
its security posture with real-time, 24/7 support and
security intelligence for its high-traffic online business.
Concerned by the threat denial of service attacks could
pose for an online business, IRM wanted to ensure performance
capabilities during high-traffic times. "Verio's
customized protection enables us to modify security
coverage as networking and data needs see fit, all with
guaranteed reliability," said Don Kaplan, director
of marketing for IRM. "To partner with Verio on
the security of our business means that we trust and
value the level of performance Verio consistently delivers
for the needs of our online business."
In addition, with Verio's managed offerings,
IRM has seen solid customer service and back-up support.
With IntelliSecurity, Verio delivers
a security solution with 24/7 security monitoring and
management of a customer's network and data infrastructure.
Verio's comprehensive suite of IntelliSecurity Managed
Solutions offers a full range of managed firewall solutions
and intrusion detection services and includes a complete
array of professional security services including Network
Penetration Testing, Information Security Assessment,
Emergency Response Service, and Vulnerability Management,
all designed to minimize network security risks. As
these types of risks continue to grow, more businesses
are turning to managed security services to mitigate
the potential impact. According to a 2003 IDC survey,
40 percent of nearly 1,000 IT managers rated security
their highest priority, with security services spending
predicted to grow to $21 billion by 2007.
"We are committed to offering services
that allow for easy management of security coverage
to fit our customers' networking needs as they grow
their business," said John Scott, vice president
of product management for Verio. "This growth trend
is a testament to customers that demand flexible and
competitively priced network security services, and
we will continue to offer customized solutions ideal
for mid to large enterprises."
