Press ReleaseChannel Moves to SaaS Security Through Alert LogicAlert Logic's Vanguard Partner Program Participation Grows 20 percent HOUSTON - DECEMBER 13, 2006 - Alert Logic, the only IT network security company leveraging a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform to deliver on-demand protection to mid-sized businesses and service providers, today announced the addition of 15 channel partners to its Vanguard Partner Program. The new partners include VARs and Service Providers based in the US and internationally. Since its inception in the summer of 2006, the Vanguard Partner Program has quickly grown as the SaaS security model - and Alert Logic's leadership in the SaaS security space - have gained acceptance by a wide range of companies. IT security support costs are expected to grow to $2.13 billion in 2010*. Larger enterprises are more easily able to handle the extra management and technology costs, while mid-sized companies are still faced with the same IT security and compliance requirements as larger companies and need to be able to manage and prove security at the same levels. SaaS security provides the same protection and compliance as traditional hardware and software but without the high installation, maintenance and staffing costs. For VARs and Service Providers, this fact has led to an increasing demand for SaaS-based security technology and for programs offering new security services to mid-sized companies. To be viable, these services must come with quick, easy implementations and upkeep as well as security technology beyond basic firewalls and anti-malware protection. Through the Vanguard program, Alert Logic enables VARs, managed service and network providers to offer their customers a security solution that deploys twice as fast at half the cost of traditional software and appliance solutions. The program gives Alert Logic partners the company's Network Protection On DemandTM, a hosted (SaaS) network security solution that provides intrusion protection, vulnerability assessment and a 24X7 threat monitoring service. Network Protection On Demand offers partners the following:
"There is a huge competitive advantage to being able to offer SaaS security, and partnering with Alert Logic has allowed us to give our customers the best SaaS security solution on the market," said Trent Dyrsmid, CEO Dyrand Systems. "Being part of the Vanguard program has definitely allowed us to stay ahead of our customer needs and give our customers the best security available at a fraction of the cost of traditional security." Since its introduction, the following companies have become Vanguard Partners:
"Our Vanguard Partners are well ahead of their competitors in meeting what is arguably the fastest growing market in IT security," said Michael Stoeger, director of channel sales for Alert Logic. "In the end, our channel partners are able to offer their clients comprehensive security without being held hostage by over-priced, watered down hardware/software or subscription services masquerading as SaaS."
