Intellitactics and Quest - security as a service

Now, QUEST- a California based service provider - is offering a NEW Managed Security Service. They'll be implementing Intellitactics SAFE appliances on the customer's premise and remotely managing logging, compliance reporting and event analysis. Their clients get all the control of ownership without the overhead.

Everyday we talk to companies that want and need to automate log reviews, threat detection and reporting requirements for multiple regulatory standards. They are all doing something, but they all want to do more. Unfortunately, the economic turmoil has created obstacles for these companies to move forward. Staffing is an issue, deploying and implementing the solution takes time, even the evaluation process required for a capitol investment requires more energy than they have. These are all good reasons to consider security as a service.

QUEST CEO Tim Burke and I were talking about what they're clients say are good reasons to engage with a security service provider. More companies are considering security as a service and by implementing Intellitactics SAFE on the Client premise - they get the best of both worlds. Quest offers redundant operation centers and SAS 70 Type II certification; the staff is highly qualified. This new security offering, featuring Intellitactics SAFE may be just the ticket for companies that need a fast start  - whether they're prepping for audtis, augmenting staff or defending against cyber criminals that stalk mid-size companies. Quest's unique service offering is a short term fix for lots of companies which will offer long term benefits.

Intellitactics Poised for Mid Market Success

This week Gartner published their annual research on security information and event management (SIEM)vendors. The research covers the high number of vendors (21) in this space and it also underscores the many different ways companies are building, packaging and selling SIM and SEM and a combined solution for companies that want and can handle both.

So what about Intellitactics? Well, we have two distinct product lines that we've developed. The first is a software solution, Intellitactics Security Manager, that in Gartner's estimation is "optimal for large enterprises" with the need to customize and configure their SIEM to adapt to sophisticated and complex requirements.the second is Intellitactics SAFE - a fully capable SIEM appliance that is uniquely designed for mid market companies. SAFE is simple to deploy and easy to use. So if a company just wants to do better during an audit or is large enough to face complex security threats but too small for dedicated security operations centers  then SAFE is perfect. Lots of capability on ONE appliance - the ultimate in simple and a fast path to value.

Our packaging is simple. Buy what you need now from Intellitactics or from a select number of VARs that all have unique capabilties and areas of expertise. We're also proud of the MSSPs that offer security services in the traditional way or co-opt SIEM with a SAFE appliance on premise with remote management by the MSSP. No matter what your budget, there is an affordable way to get the benefits of SAFE: improved understanding of logs and events and accelerated investigation of security incidents. We aren't bundled with your storage solution or your NOC solution or thrown into your maintenance bill. Everyone of our customers conducted a thorough investigation and selection process and chose Intellitactics.

Finally, we like what we do. Everyone in the company takes a lot of pride in the success our customers in 21 countries and many industries are having with our product. We are just as excited today after 11 years of providing security solutions as we were when we the first customer bought a product that in those days was an elaborate toolkit.

So if you're an independent thinker and you're looking for a vendor partner highly invested in your success - we're the company you're looking for! Take a look -  any Tuesday and see for yourself how simple SIEM can be.

Intellitactics SAFE is a Winner - Best Security Management

During InfoSec Week in London, SC Magazine Hosted a Gala Event to recognize the best products in multiple categories. Intellitactics SAFE was voted the Best Security Management Product..

Intellitactics Director of International Sales Brent Davidson and Intellitactics Security Specialist Matt Schnarr hosted a table of Intellitactics customers and partners at the SC Magazine Gala and eagerly anticipated the award announcements. "We're proud to accept this award on behalf of all the talented people at Intellitactics who contributed to this complete and affordable security information and event management appliance," Davidson said. "While the Award is great to get, we are rewarded everyday by the customers who choose Intellitactics over dozens of other alternatives. When a customer volunteers to tell prospects about their product and their Intellitactics experience, it makes me so proud of what we do and what we provide to this market." 

Davidson and Schnarr were at InfoSec to leverage the excitement around the SAFE product. Global laws and regulatory standards continue to challenge organizations of all sizes. SAFE provides everyday compliance with policies implemented to reduce risk and protect against insider and external attacks. Intellitactics partners in 22 countries outside North America incorporate SAFE into comprehensive infrastructure management and compliance initiatives.
