Sep 19, 2007 : Health Care Firm Uses Alert Logic
📅 - Security solutions provider Alert Logic (alertlogic.net) announced on Monday that health care company Concentra (concentra.com) has selected Alert Logic Threat Manager to protect Concentra's network from incoming threats.
With 320 medical centers in 40 states and hundreds of clinics at major employer sites, Concentra is one of the largest providers of onsite health care services in the country. Concentra selected Alert Logic to avoid having to deploy and maintain a traditional intrusion protection and vulnerability management solution, enabling the company's IT staff to focus on more strategic projects.
Alert Logic's intrusion protection and vulnerability management solution has taken the place of Concentra's traditional packaged software solution. By using Alert Logic's software-as-a-service platform, Concentra no longer has to deploy and maintain an intrusion detection infrastructure. There are also no upfront hardware or software costs and no incremental staffing required, providing Concentra with significant cost savings.
"Alert Logic's software-as-a-service offering provides a simple way to maintain visibility into our network security and enables us to address only those issues that represent real risk," says Stephen Bates, assistant VP of IT risk management for Concentra. "The security expertise of the company, the maturity of their solution, and the ease of implementation and support made Alert Logic the clear choice for protecting our perimeter network from threats."
The company announced last month that remote communications solutions provider Stratos Global selected the Alert Logic Threat Manager network security solution.
