Alert Logic Makes World Class Network Security Easier for Small Business with New Release of On-Demand Solution; New Version 3.0 Helps Small Business Stay On Top of Security and Comply with Regulations with Fewer Clicks of the Mouse.

HOUSTON -- In an effort to make world class network security more accessible to small and mid-sized businesses, Alert Logic today announced version 3.0 of its on-demand security service that includes a completely redesigned user experience and simple-to-use regulatory compliance reporting capabilities. Alert Logic's Network Protection On Demand(TM) 3.0 is the only solution of its kind that brings together human security experts, software-as-a-service, and on-premise appliances to help protect businesses from the latest network threats. Typically only protected by firewall and antivirus technology, small businesses can now add a critical third layer of network security that provides easy, effective, and affordable protection from worms, Trojans, botnets, and other malicious intruders.

By leveraging Web2.0/AJAX usability concepts, both business and technical users can now have easy access to critical network security and compliance information that was previously out of reach. Users of the new version 3.0 solution are now greeted by the extremely user-friendly overview screen which gives only the most important information about their current security stance and guides them towards the information they need to review first.

Also, four new compliance-oriented reports are now available for the regulations pertaining to GLBA, SOX, HIPAA, and PCI. These reports assist in understanding how the security data collected by Invision Security impacts can be leveraged to help demonstrate compliance to regulations that impact small business. Each report has a scorecard, an executive summary, and a detailed report listing each item that could potentially impact the confidentiality and integrity of information assets.

"One of the biggest issues for small and mid-sized businesses that comes up when managing IT security is time," said Chris Smith, vice president of marketing at Alert Logic. "The new version of our on-demand solution brings the most important information to users in a simpler way while making it much easier to stay on top of regulatory obligations - unlike traditional solutions from some of the bigger IT security vendors that drown users in meaningless data and only add to the resource constraints that smaller businesses already have."

Other features of Network Protection On Demand(TM) 3.0 include:

--Each type of data is now represented through a series of synopsis and easy-to-understand graphs. These are utilized quickly to guide the user to their most relevant data with a minimum of clicks.

--The all new "customizable dashboard" allows you to add elements from any screen to the user's own personal dashboard, and configure them to present data the user needs to know. This reduces the steps taken to get the most important information and allows the user to customize the interface to their needs and interests.

--New streamlined and highly interactive Monitor Screens enables advanced users to see summaries of multiple events quickly, easily search, and save search parameters, and re-arrange the list with a single click of the mouse.

--New Event, Incident, and Host detail screens make it much easier to understand the security data, provide clearer information and make for more efficient workflow.

--New Device Viewer provides easier and quicker access to information about the hosts on the network, and optimizes the workflow for grouping hosts together and assigning properties to hosts. The new view interface is clear and easy to use, allowing users to quickly target the hosts needing the most attention.

The only on-demand IT security company focused on the SMB market, Alert Logic recently declared war on the high cost of security for SMBs, claiming that large IT security firms have been forcing these businesses to overspend for security solutions - solutions that are often not appropriate for SMBs.

This new on-demand version is available immediately and pricing starts at $1000 per month.
