Small to Medium Businesses(SMBs) benefit by ZERO initial spend on network security from CounterSnipe

Nov. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Boston, Mass. -- CounterSnipe, a leader in developing “easy to deploy and manage”,  network change management and security software,  APS (Active Protection Software),  are pleased to lead in the initiative to provide corporate level security to Small to Medium Businesses with Zero initial spending.

CounterSnipe network security software offers comprehensive protection from security threats with built in IDS/IPS, host identification, application and vulnerability discovery, correlation of attack to vulnerability data, and intelligent alert management. CounterSnipe systems are designed to detect and prevent against real and most relevant security violations in real time.

SMBs can account for up to 99% of the workforce in some countries, yet SMBs often regard security purchases as a “grudge purchase” due to the large initial costs involved in sourcing well supported, commercially available security tools. These enterprises are often left exposed to threats, sometimes with “it won’t happen to us” hope. Increasingly, legislations and compliance requirements such as PCI, HIPAA and the Data Protection Act apply equally to an SMB as they do to large corporate.

CounterSnipe recognise that SMBs unlike the larger corporates have much smaller IT budgets and human resources for managing IT infrastructures. Having spent many man years of development in creating a network change detection and security system that requires minimal interaction, CounterSnipe is now delighted to make the entire solution available to SMBs on a subscription bases with no upfront costs for purchasing the software.

“Our goal is to continue setting new milestones in the network security markets. With such a high percentage of businesses in the SMB sector, we want to ensure that CounterSnipe is the network security solution of choice for them. We are confident that the SMBs will benefit tremendously from our Zero Initial Cost offer and spreading the costs over time. This will also enable businesses to implement “today” rather than having to suffer security breaches and spend many times more later”, says Amar Rathore, CEO of CounterSnipe.

CounterSnipe software includes IDS, IPS, Network Management, Network Scanning, Network Change Detection and Alert Management as a combined site licence. The subscription based pricing will be fully supported via CounterSnipe’s international partners, who will continue to offer local support.
