TierPoint deploys eIQnetworks' SecureVue platform as foundation for managed
security and compliance offerings
ACTON, Mass., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- eIQnetworks(R), Inc., a global
provider of integrated security, risk and audit management solutions, today
announced that managed security service provider, TierPoint, has selected
its flagship SecureVue(R) platform as the foundation for multiple managed
service offerings, one of which is designed to enable compliance with the
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Specialty apparel
retailer, Zumiez, is the first to deploy TierPoint's new SecureVue-powered
solution.
After an extensive review and evaluation process, TierPoint, which
specializes in providing technology and business solutions to organizations
in the Pacific Northwest, selected eIQnetworks' SecureVue over competing
products. The primary driver for the final purchase decision was
SecureVue's ability to combine enterprise security management with IT
governance, risk and compliance (GRC) functionality. The integrated
platform enables TierPoint to deliver a breadth of services that leverage
data collection, correlation, archival and reporting capabilities to help
customers meet stringent security and compliance requirements.
"Data security initiatives and compliance mandates like PCI are
business-critical requirements for retail organizations," said Lee Hudson,
technology director at Zumiez. "The reality is that while compliance is
mandatory, solution cost and simplicity is also paramount. TierPoint's
SecureVue-based offering provides an easy-to-use platform that enables us
to cost-effectively comply with industry regulations."
As industry standards and best practices demand a more all-encompassing
approach to security, risk and audit management, organizations require
solutions that provide an integrated, enterprise-wide view of all systems
and devices. To meet these demands, companies in highly-regulated
industries like retail are increasingly outsourcing solutions from managed
security service providers (MSSPs).
"We're seeing tremendous demand from organizations that have elected to
outsource security and compliance requirements in order to meet PCI and
other data protection mandates," said Scott Fuhriman, director of product
development at TierPoint. "The reason we selected eIQ's SecureVue over
competing products is because its feature-rich platform enables us to
easily meet our customers' immediate business needs. In particular, the
audit capabilities in this platform allow us to be one of the first
providers to offer an IT GRC managed service."
"Forward-thinking service providers like TierPoint have discovered that
the implications of security and compliance mandates require organizations
to go beyond logs to collect and correlate all data across multiple
sources," said John Sullivan, senior vice president, field operations at
eIQnetworks. "By integrating security, risk and audit management, the
SecureVue platform offers MSSPs the flexibility required to build a range
of revenue-generating services that proactively meet complex security and
compliance management requirements."
TierPoint joins the ranks of over 60 MSSPs who are leveraging eIQ to
deliver security, risk and audit management offerings to customers
worldwide.
