SoundingStep Inc Provides New Active Security Monitoring System

📅 March 18, 2002 - SoundingStep Inc., a provider of network security monitoring services, announced today that it will provide new enhanced cyber security services to hosting clients.

Provides resources for hosting companies that wish to offer cyber security to their clients through a rapidly deployed, highly scaleable service model, SoundingStep Inc. (soundingstep.com) also provides additional recurring revenue. Through its Active Security Monitoring (ASM) suite of services, SoundingStep is able to monitor a client's data in real time, 24/7 and respond to security threats as they happen.
?Our service works very much like a company that monitors a building for physical security except we watch networks,? said Keith Hayes, SoundingStep's CTO.
?We provide real time log analysis, cross technology event correlation and the ability to contain security breaches before they can do damage.?
Already used by a broad range of companies, SoundingStep's system was created based on need, according to CEO, Ron Newman.
"Last year during the NIMDA and CodeRed outbreaks, our attention became focused on the hosting community as we watched huge networks go down within minutes,? said Newman
?Our investigation into hosting companies showed that almost exclusively their security was only physical - biometrics, cameras, redundant power and the like - but there was virtually no cyber security. We knew that we could have helped if we had been there.
Everyone is concerned about cyber-security and the protection of intellectual property. By focusing on cyber security as well as physical security, our Hosting partners are able to provide one of the industry's first truly secure environments in which their clients can host web servers, e-mail servers, and other e-business applications all monitored 24/7 inreal time,? he said.
