Denver, CO (PRWEB) September 15, 2010
Hosting. com (http://hosting. com), the leading provider of hybrid hosting solutions – managed, cloud and colocation, today announced the addition of Log Manager and Threat Manager to its cloud product portfolio. This solution provides a cost-effective security and compliancy solution to SMBs and mid-level Enterprises in a production-ready cloud environment. Organizations of all sizes utilize Alert Logic’s Log Manager and Threat Manager to meet IT security compliance requirements for vulnerability management, intrusion protection and log management.
Hosting. com customers face a wide range of PCI, HIPAA, SOX and GLBA regulations that are designed to protect consumers' rights and ensure corporate integrity. While it's important for companies to take steps to satisfy these mandates, compliance can be costly. Many organizations face several challenges on their way to compliance, such as realigning and often straining IT resources and making significant infrastructure investments that are required to meet these regulations.
Alert Logic Log Manager™ (http://www. hosting. com/services/managed-services/security/log-management? utm_source=ebook_hdcvmware&utm_medium=ebook&utm_campaign=ebook_webdownload) is an easy-to-deploy solution to address the complex and costly security and regulatory compliance management issues facing organizations today. Log Manager provides cloud-powered log management to collect, store, report and correlate log data in one of Hosting. com’s highly secure, redundant SAS 70 Type II audited datacenters (http://www. hosting. com/technology/datacenters). Log Manager cost-effectively collects, aggregates, correlates, alerts and reports on log data without forcing customers to deploy costly infrastructure.
Alert Logic Threat Manager™ (http://www. hosting. com/services/managed-services/security/threat-management? utm_source=ebook_hdcvmware&utm_medium=ebook&utm_campaign=ebook_webdownload) combines intrusion protection and vulnerability management technology into a single solution that offers both proactive and reactive protection from the latest threats. Threat Manager's unique Software-as-a-Service architecture eliminates the false alarms typically associated with other network intrusion detection technologies.
