Betrusted Managed Security Services Integrates Verano’s Industrial Defender to Monitor and Protect Industrial Operations Around the Clock
MANSFIELD, Mass., and NEW YORK, NY, August 9, 2004—Betrusted, the premier global provider of security and trust services, and Verano, Inc., the leading provider of security solutions for mission-critical industrial operations, today announced a partnership to provide the first end-to-end security solution for the industrial market. Verano’s Industrial Defender, the first cybersecurity management system designed specifically for industrial operations, can now be managed and monitored by Betrusted, providing clients the ultimate visibility and protection against any potential cybersecurity threat.Betrusted and Verano will jointly market and sell Industrial Defender professional and managed security services to organizations such as power, energy, water, process and mass transportation.
“Partnering with Verano allows us to expand our professional and managed security services into mission-critical industries, differentiating Betrusted from its competitors,” said Kerry Bailey, Americas CEO for Betrusted. “Together, we offer the most powerful solution available to ensure highly reliable, available and secure control system infrastructure.” As the first step in security best practices, Verano and Betrusted provide consulting services, including a security assessment from the enterprise through its mission-critical infrastructure assets. This results in a security policy and technology recommendation – within the enterprise for protection of data, and within production for protection of control systems.
To complete the offering, Betrusted’s managed security services provide 24x7x365 management and monitoring of the deployed security technology from the enterprise to the production assets. “Until we launched Industrial Defender last year, mission-critical facilities did not have a cybersecurity technology option that could monitor and protect their real-time control systems and networks,” said Brian Ahern, president and CEO of Verano. “By partnering with Betrusted, we can offer a holistic solution, covering the entire security lifecycle of mission-critical infrastructure, protecting it from increased global cybersecurity threats.”
