📅 May 6, 2003 - Interliant (interliant.com) today announced that it has enhanced the security of its hosting infrastructure by deploying Security Threat Manager, a network security event management solution developed by OpenService (open.com).

"Interliant manages hundreds of firewalls in complex hosting environments," said Louis DiMeglio, Interliant's vice president of solutions. "It's critical that we identify threats quickly, so that we can act on them rapidly and keep our customers' servers secure. With Security Threat Manager, we'll be able to do that more efficiently and effectively."
Interliant's hosting infrastructure generates over 19 million reportable security events each day. Security Threat Manager helps Interliant's network operations team to correlate security events to network faults in real time, distinguish true threats from false positives, and focus on the most important security issues.

And most importantly, these ongoing investments provide Interliant's customers with hosting platforms that incorporate the latest best-in-class technology."
