Press ReleaseConcentra Prescribes Alert Logic's On-Demand Service for Internal IT Network SecuritySoftware-as-a-Service Solution Enables Health Care Provider to Augment IT Staff, Protect Sensitive Information HOUSTON - SEPTEMBER 18, 2007 - Alert Logic, provider of award-winning network security solutions, today announced that Concentra, Inc., a health care company with 320 medical centers in 40 states and hundreds of clinics at major employer sites, has selected Alert Logic Threat Manager™ to protect Concentra's network from the latest threats that are capable of evading perimeter and endpoint defenses. Founded in 1979, Concentra is one of the largest providers of on-site health care services in the U.S. Considering the demands placed on information technology (IT) staff and budget, Concentra selected Alert Logic to avoid the burden of deploying and maintaining a traditional intrusion protection and vulnerability management solution – enabling the company’s IT staff to focus on more strategic projects. With Alert Logic's security expertise and around-the-clock network protection, Concentra can focus only on the security threats and vulnerabilities that require action on the part of its IT staff. Alert Logic's intrusion protection and vulnerability management solution has taken the place of Concentra's traditional packaged software solution. By leveraging Alert Logic's Software-as-a-Service platform, Concentra is no longer tasked with deploying and maintaining an intrusion detection infrastructure. With no upfront hardware or software costs and no incremental staffing required, Alert Logic's unique on-demand solution delivery also provides Concentra with significant cost savings. "Alert Logic's software-as-a-service offering provides a simple way to maintain visibility into our network security and enables us to address only those issues that represent real risk," said Stephen Bates, assistant vice-president of IT risk management for Concentra. "The security expertise of the company, the maturity of their solution, and the ease of implementation and support made Alert Logic the clear choice for protecting our perimeter network from threats." In addition, Alert Logic's network security solution enhances Concentra's ability to protect sensitive patient information as mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and security breach laws now in place in over 36 states. "As a leader in the health care industry, Concentra must protect its IT assets and patient information with the most powerful network security available," said Michael Turner, Alert Logic CEO. "Alert Logic's security expertise and on-demand platform provides Concentra with a solution that not only safeguards their IT network, but does it easily, without additional staffing and with considerable cost reduction."
