Clone Systems Brings Powerful Cloud-Based MSSP Capabilities to Carousel’s Security Offering, Including Intrusion Detection / Prevention, Log Management and Monitoring
EXETER, RI–(Marketwire – May 24, 2012) – Carousel Industries, a leader in voice, video and data networking and converged communications, today announced that it has partnered with Clone Systems, Inc., a globally recognized enterprise-level MSSP (managed security service provider) specializing in network protection and data security. Through the new partnership, Carousel adds a powerful services-based component to its existing best-of-breed IT security portfolio, strengthening its ability to deliver holistic security solutions to its enterprise-level customers.
By leveraging Carousel’s managed services security offering with Clone Systems — a certified PCI service provider — companies can more effectively address compliance requirements. “Very often, a customer is missing compliancy because they just can’t maintain the level of staffing, reporting and correlation that is required,” Behrens continues. “Our partnership with Clone Systems helps our customers access a range of resources to help them manage their security requirements both immediately and for long haul.”
Carousel’s relationship with Clone Systems enables it to deliver a holistic security solution that includes an on-premises hardware component as well as a robust cloud-based services offering. “We provide 24/7 monitoring, alerting and management of networks, as well as reporting and insight through our security information portal so the customer has full transparency and visibility into what is going on,” says Richard Daw, chief operating officer of Clone Systems. “All this concise, actionable information is correlated into a single portal in real-time.”
