Background on Netswitch:
When a computer virus infected the network at Crouse and Associates in San Francisco, the
insurance services company ground to a halt during a weeklong outage — costing a significant
amount of time and money to resolve. The company does not have a large IT staff or a chief
information security officer, it can’t afford to employ security experts and it doesn’t have the time
or expertise to wade through the complicated Internet security landscape filled with intimidating
terminology like “botnets,” “kill-chains,” “application firewalls” and “advanced persistent threats.”
So the busy company left it all up to global technology solutions provider Netswitch and its
innovative MADROC® Integrated Security Platform that maximizes network security for more than
2,500 global businesses, large and small. MADROC® provides complete intrusion detection and
prevention along with event management and immediate alerting and remediation — complete
peace of mind within a monthly subscription plan.
The future is very clear: Cyber-crime is growing rapidly and as security gets better, the criminals
get smarter. To respond to this real problem, Netswitch has revolutionized the way IT security is
delivered — controlling and monitoring a heterogeneous mix of IT technology from top to bottom
at every touch point; a true Defense in Depth security strategy. A MADROC® subscription includes
all engineering, configuration, tuning, licenses and maintenance, along with a dedicated Security
Operations Control Center providing support around the clock, with 15 minute response and
immediate remediation.
“Netswitch is applying technology to important security and social issues that I care deeply
about,” said Ken Chrisman, Board Member of Netswitch. “This is an important opportunity to use
technology to protect personal and sensitive information. I believe MADROC® is poised to
revolutionize the personal information security space with enhanced security protection through
advanced behavioral analytics while leveraging the cloud to manage the massive data being
generated.”
