LANtelligence is focusing its extensive
contact center experience and exper-

offers less competition and bigger pay-
outs for our channel partners.”

with SD-WAN market leader VeloCloud
to enhance its existing SD-WAN solu-
tion to deliver a suite of fully managed
networking functions. BullsEye SD-
WAN, a VeloCloud Powered solution,
is the latest addition to the brand’s
managed network portfolio.
“This SD-WAN offering solidifies
our ability to offer prospects and our
base of clients with nationally distribut-
ed locations, an agile cloud-delivered
network that supports more intelligent
use of broadband internet connectiv-
ity,” said CEO, William H. Oberlin.
BullsEye SD-WAN provides the en-
tire middle mile connecting the Internet
to client locations effectively helping
BullsEye manage bandwidth hungry-
applications. “We are now better
equipped to guarantee a best-in-class
user experience for voice, UC/video
collaboration and other multi-media
applications,” adds Oberlin.
CNSG Adds Inky Email
Security to Portfolio
Master agent CNSG is now offering
Inky Phish Fence for Microsoft Office
365 to its partners and their customers.
Inky Phish Fence protects Microsoft
Office 365 users against spear-phishing
and other email-based attacks. It works
as an add-in right within Outlook, giv-
ing users detailed information about
email-based threats and providing both
protection and training.
A security add-in for Microsoft Office
365, Inky Phish Fence installs seam-
lessly and is zero-administration,
requiring no migration or changes to
back-end DLP, e-discovery or other
systems, said the company. It acts like
a cybersecurity expert sitting next to
each user, analyzing that person’s mail.
Users see specific feedback about
each email, including sender profiles
of legitimate emails and warnings
about emails that are suspicious. Inky
Phish Fence warns of domain and
brand forgery attempts, emails claim-
ing to be internal that are actually
external, legitimate-looking “typo do-
mains” and fraudulent links.
