Extended Layers of Security Help Ensure Confidentiality,
Integrity and Availability
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- RedSiren Technologies, Inc., a
managed service provider (MSP) for remote security and network management
solutions, announced important security enhancements to its 1stWatch(TM)
services offering at today's RSA Conference in San Francisco. The
enhancements are designed to bolster the security of its customers' IT systems
as well as their remote access to RedSiren's operations center.
"We lead our industry right now in addressing security as an essential
element of network management," Harvey Pollack, president and CEO of RedSiren,
says. "For this reason, we're committed to making top-tier security
technologies and expertise available to our clients that might otherwise be
out of reach. We will continue to expand support for other leading industry
solutions."
RedSiren's newly announced security enhancements include:
* PKI Integration to provide digital certificates for customers accessing
their system status online via RedSiren 1stView(TM), an integrated,
web-based customer monitor. "We are our own certificate authority.
This allows us to offer a true 'gold standard' for authenticating and
validating access rights, an important concern when our customers
leverage the Internet to access confidential information," L. Dain
Gary, vice president and chief security officer for RedSiren explains.
* Firewall Integrity Monitoring for Cisco PIX and Symantec Raptor
firewalls. For PIX firewalls, RedSiren monitors the status of sensitive
configuration files to ensure integrity and to detect any intrusion of
the operating system, in addition to monitoring health and welfare
criteria, such as Email parameters and traffic performance. For
Symantec's Raptor firewall, RedSiren monitors health and welfare of the
server on which the firewall resides, looks at the operating system for
potential intrusion, and monitors the configuration and system files to
make sure they have not been changed. "Our customers have peace of mind
knowing that the integrity of their firewalls is continuously monitored
and that RedSiren will notify and advise them if a breach is detected,
24x7," Gary says.
* Intrusion Detection Monitoring is offered for network and host levels.
When a possible intrusion is identified, RedSiren notifies the customer
and makes recommendations of immediate actions to be taken. For
situations that require on-site incident response, RedSiren security
experts are available.
"Security is one of those dynamic areas that require constant vigilance
and updating. We deliver world-class security functionality and expertise to
our clients that would be costly, time-consuming and difficult for them to
build and maintain," Gary says. "We are fortunate to be able to combine
RedSiren best practices and industry best-of-breed to offer true value-add to
our customers. By outsourcing their security services to RedSiren, our
customers avoid the need to constantly invest in the latest security
technologies, and free their IT staffs to focus on activities that advance
their business objectives. They can do this with confidence that our
vendor-neutral approach ensures affordable access to best-of-breed solutions."
