In choosing to partner with Clone Systems, Carousel was cognizant of the many challenges companies now face in an increasingly difficult IT security landscape, such as a sharp increase in the volume and sophistication of network attacks, a decrease in the resources they have to mitigate these threats and increasing compliance requirements that are now present in nearly every vertical market.

This has the net effect of lowering capital expenditures for our customers, while bringing an added measure of assurance that their data is secure.”

By leveraging Carousel’s managed services security offering with Clone Systems — a certified PCI service provider — companies can more effectively address compliance requirements. “Very often, a customer is missing compliancy because they just can't maintain the level of staffing, reporting and correlation that is required,” Behrens continues. “Our partnership with Clone Systems helps our customers access a range of resources to help them manage their security requirements both immediately and for long haul.”

Carousel’s relationship with Clone Systems enables it to deliver a holistic security solution that includes an on-premises hardware component as well as a robust cloud-based services offering. “We provide 24/7 monitoring, alerting and management of networks, as well as reporting and insight through our security information portal so the customer has full transparency and visibility into what is going on,” says Richard Daw, chief operating officer of Clone Systems. “All this concise, actionable information is correlated into a single portal in real-time.”
