As South African companies increasingly realise the value of outsourced managed security services, Nclose is pleased to announce that it is at the forefront of this wave of interest - meeting and exceeding the growing demand.
Stephen Osler, Director at Nclose, says a thorough understanding of client needs is at the core of its business philosophy. It's not enough to wield a suite of world-class products if they are being applied inefficiently or in the wrong context.
“Nclose has spent many years cherry-picking highly skilled security engineers and a wide range of network security solutions and technologies - an experience that has equipped us with the insight to carefully select and apply the correct product for each customer's unique security needs,” he explains.
With an impressive array of favourites that include Tufin, Checkpoint, Websense, Kaspersky and Cyber-Ark, to name a few, Osler adds that the Nclose team is always on the lookout for new and innovative security solutions that will address its customers' needs.
“We're more than happy to find a solution that we don't currently work with - if that is what our client needs.”
Nclose is also able to look beyond the possible limitations of current products - of which cost could be considered to be one. Despite their pressing security needs, clients aren't always able to shell out on big-ticket items and add-ons.
“One of these needs is often for integrated reporting,” Martin Potgieter, Nclose Director, points out. “Reporting can be just as important as the security solution - if real value is to be extracted. This is why we have spent several months developing a flexible, intuitive reporting dashboard for our customers to apply to their network environments.”
By gathering data from all security applications that are active in a client's network and displaying it in a useful and easily understood format, it becomes easy to gain an overall view of security status, where problem areas lie, and where increased efficiency can be found with existing products.
Potgieter says Nclose's reporting dashboard will be available to clients from the second quarter onwards, and that they are likely to realise immediate value from its use.
“With a groundbreaking approach to trend and risk analysis, our consolidated reporting facility is a cost-effective approach that provides a critical at-a-glance understanding of what's going on in your network environment,” Potgieter notes.
The product of a leading-edge technical team that places significant effort on remaining at the forefront of industry trends and developments, the new reporting facility - combined with Nclose's hands-on approach to security management - is sure to shift expectations in the marketplace.
“Our track record to date is unblemished, and we're one of a few companies in our industry to be able to boast that we always exceed the SLA expectations of our clients,” Osler says. “When dealing with network security, you cannot afford to skip a beat, and we have the right combination of products, service and innovation to live up to that standard.”
