Masergy Communications announced it has acquired Global DataGuard, Inc., broadening its managed services portfolio with advanced security solutions. The acquisition, says Masergy, enhances its existing portfolio with patented technology that leverages machine learning and expert human intelligence.
“In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, discrete signature or rule-based security solutions alone are not adequate from a risk management perspective,” said Masergy’s CEO Chris MacFarland. “And as seen in recent news, even when businesses invest in advanced security solutions, the lack of systematic sharing and correlation of subsystem data and vigilant 24/7 monitoring leaves them exposed to advanced threats.”
Cyber attacks are only going to become more intense and sophisticated, MacFarland continued. “It’s a new battlefield. The acquisition of Global DataGuard uniquely positions Masergy to deliver solutions engineered to address these advanced persistent threats.”
Masergy’s Security as a Service suite now includes comprehensive enterprise security solutions with Unified Enterprise Security and Professional Services. Unified Enterprise Security leverages an integrated system architecture designed to support cloud, premise and hybrid IT environments, says the company. The passive modular solution overlays, complements and unifies a business’s existing security investment with 24/7 monitoring and reporting by certified security analysts; patented adaptive, predictive network behavioral analysis; advanced persistent threat management; vulnerability management;?Security Threat Intelligence Dashboard; and more.
Masergy’s suite of Professional Services includes comprehensive security audits, forensic audits, compliance testing, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and risk management.
