Perket Technologies Partners with Stonesoft to Expand Managed Security Offering, Reduce Network Admin Times by 60 Percent
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Perket to be first MSSP to offer Stonesoft's
Anti-Evasion Readiness Test Service
Helsinki, Finland - August 30, 2011 - Network security provider Stonesoft today
announced that Perket has leveraged Stonesoft's full suite of security solutions
to expand its managed service offering as well as cut network administration
times by more than half. The managed security services provider (MSSP)
exclusively uses Stonesoft's StoneGate security solutions, and will soon be the
first MSSP to offer Stonesoft's Anti-Evasion Readiness Test Service.
Headquartered outside of Atlanta, Georgia, United States, Perket provides more
than 300 companies with high-quality, cost-effective, service-oriented
information system solutions, including robust managed security services. Their
extensive list of clients includes Wise Business Forms as well as other
companies in the financial services, education and manufacturing industries.
Since 2006, Stonesoft has been the exclusive technology partner for Perket's
network security services.
In the past three years, Perket has expanded its client base by more than 53
percent. Stonesoft has played an instrumental role in helping Perket accommodate
this growth while providing the highest quality of managed security services,
despite facing increasingly sophisticated network threats and compliance
challenges. StoneGate firewall, IPS and SSL VPN solutions have delivered always-
on advanced threat protection for even the most complex client networks. The
StoneGate Management Center has allowed Perket to easily and centrally manage
and monitor network security and performance - both at a macro and individual
client level. As a result, Perket has reduced its client network administration
times by 60 percent.
In addition to advanced threat protection and reduced network admin times,
Stonesoft has enabled Perket to lower operating costs while identifying new
revenue and client value opportunities. Because Stonesoft offers licensing for
authentication, web-portal and individual domains, Perket has been able to give
clients increased visibility and shared control of their networks. Additionally,
the MSSP can now offer flexible, pay-as-you-grow pricing to their customers.
"Stonesoft has been a key part of our success. They've not only allowed our
quality of service to keep pace with our growth, they've given us the tools to
reduce the cost of delivery and even add new services. We've yet to see another
vendor that can provide such an MSSP-friendly solution," said Carolyn Keane,
CEO, Perket.
Later this year, Perket plans to offer Stonesoft's Anti-Evasion Readiness Test
Service to its customer base. This service will allow Perket to assess a
client's vulnerability to advanced evasion threats like advanced evasion
techniques. As a result, Perket will be the first MSSP to offer this service in
North America.
