CounterSnipe joins forces with the leading UK security distributor, VCW Security

May 18, 2012 - PRLog -- VCW Security, a UK based Value Added Distributor of IT security products, today announced that it will partner with US based CounterSnipe LLC, experts in strategic security, to resell CounterSnipe’s Network Intelligence based IDS/IPS software and appliances.

The move creates exciting opportunities for VCW’s UK-based resellers and integrators. Through them, CIOs, CISOs and security managers can now combine award-winning network security software with 24 x 7 expert sales and customer service locally. VCW’s channel partners will bring these solutions to large organisations in a variety of industries, such as defence and government, healthcare and insurance, energy and utilities, financial services and the cloud services provision industries.

CounterSnipe recognise that for most organizations, the network vulnerabilities and  ever increasing threats far outweigh its resources to plug the holes and manage responses to those threats. CounterSnipe created an intelligent network security system that allows corporations to automatically identify network vulnerabilities, threats and accurate alerting processes. CounterSnipe systems help IT departments identify threats and prioritise responses, thus protecting organization’s most important assets from real threats and quantify return on security investments.

"Strategically aligning with aggressive partners that have deep domain expertise supports CounterSnipe’s commitment to exceed customer expectations by delivering the best possible technology, service, technical support and education programs," said Amar Rathore, CEO of CounterSnipe.  “VCW is lead by a dynamic team with many years of support and services experience and we are delighted to have them on board as our UK partner,” added Rathore.

Security breaches cost organisations millions of dollars and euros in financial losses each year. Attacks such as SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting flaws can exploit thousands of network, operating system and web application-related vulnerabilities. Since 15 to 20 new vulnerabilities are identified each day, it is impossible for global IT departments to protect all assets equally..

"CounterSnipe Security products are based on some of the leading Open Source technologies, integrated together with some real thought to security and reliability. The addition of  SAK, CounterSnipe proprietary  software for intelligent management and reporting of security threats, ensures that we are able to deliver the best and easiest way for our partners to sell and  manage IPS on the market" , added Graham Fox, Managing Director of VCW Security Ltd.

CounterSnipe enable customers to know not only what the current threats are, but also what the risk is to their company’s assets. They benefit by knowing exactly which vulnerable assets are likely to be most affected by an attack and deciding what should be fixed, in what priority, how, and by what date

CounterSnipe systems are immediately available as software or appliances.  Resellers interested in joining the CounterSnipe UK partner program are encouraged in the first instance to contact VCW Security who will be delighted to provide further details about the program.
