RCN Business Launches Managed Security With Versa Networks

PRINCETON, N.J. and SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- RCN Business, a communications provider delivering network solutions for voice, data and video, and Versa Networks, today announced the launch of RCN Managed Security, a cloud-based managed security service enabling businesses to efficiently manage information security and monitor network activity. The service is available now to RCN Business customers using the company’s fiber-based services.

One of the most important issues facing businesses of all sizes is information security. Companies are challenged to proactively address attacks by hackers, protect highly sensitive data, and protect against internal threats such as employees inadvertently downloading malicious software. Traditional hardware-based solutions used to provide protection are too costly and complex for many businesses to manage across all their locations, requiring significant capital investments in equipment and software, as well as operating expenses and resources to deploy, configure and continually optimize.

RCN Business Managed Security is delivered from the cloud, eliminating the management and capital costs associated with traditional security solutions. Based on software-defined security (SD-Security) from Versa Networks, RCN Business Managed Security provides businesses with the protection capabilities of enterprise security solutions like next-generation firewalls and unified threat management, while greatly simplifying deployment, operations and monitoring at branch office sites.

RCN Business Managed Security offers multiple plans that provide layered protection through:
