Sana Security Partners with Data Systems Worldwide to Penetrate Regional Market
Sana Security, Inc., one of the leaders in host-based intrusion prevention software, today announced it has signed one of Southern California's largest security resellers and systems integrators - Data Systems Worldwide (DSW) - to the Sana Reseller Partner Program. Based in Woodland Hills, CA, DSW is an outsourced IT solutions provider that designs, builds and manages enterprise application infrastructures for hundreds of companies, particularly in the financial services and entertainment industries.
Doing business since 1971, more than one thousand organizations have chosen DSW (www.dsw.net) as their "Total Solutions Partner". With expertise in security, convergence, application, systems and storage, DSW provides solution continuity from consulting, to procurement, implementation and managed services, providing customers with a business partner they can count on throughout the IT lifecycle. With IT security a top priority for all of its clients, DSW employs defense-in-depth security strategies built around Sana's Primary Response host-based Intrusion Prevention System to protect servers and applications at the enterprise core.
"We recommend Primary Response to our enterprise customers because of the product's proven capabilities to scale and adapt to changing security threat conditions," said Boni Bruno, Chief Security Officer, Data Systems Worldwide. "Conversely, rules-based security tools are limited because they can't offer the same high level of host protection from zero-day threats that are essential to maintaining business continuity. Sana's unique remote monitoring functionality also enables DSW to provide our customers with a fully-managed host security service using Primary Response."
Supplying 'best of breed' software and hardware products for its clients, DSW specializes in developing customized technology solutions for growing businesses. As a Sana Reseller Partner, DSW will resell and implement Sana's Primary Response host-based Intrusion Prevention System software. Additionally DSW is one of the few Sana partners qualified to offer customers Primary Response as a remotely managed and monitored security service.
"With myriad IT security tools on the market today, enterprises look to trusted partners like DSW to help them select the very best mix of solutions to protect their valuable IT assets," said Andrew Leventhal, Vice President of Channels and Business Development, Sana Security. "With a heritage in IT services and security spanning more than 33 years, we feel privileged to have DSW's endorsement and support as one of Sana's premier resellers and implementers of Primary Response."
With some of the leading Hollywood film studios and film industry businesses as clients, DSW works with these companies to protect their valuable intellectual capital stored on host servers. Financial services firms also rely on DSW to help them provide highly secure environments for database servers and hosted financial applications that must comply with stringent federal regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
"We're seeing strong demand for Primary Response as a solution that serves as the final line of defense for host servers inside the enterprise perimeter," added Bruno. "When we talk to our customers and assess their business problems, we typically do security audits to find out what the key issues are. Usually we find they need Primary Response not only to plug holes in their security infrastructure, but also to shield servers, operating systems and applications from the continual discovery of new vulnerabilities."
