Peak 10 (www.peak10.com), the Southeast’s leading data center operator and managed services provider, announced a strategic partnership with Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based ProtectPoint Security, Inc.

Through the partnership, Peak 10 can now offer its growing list of customers a complete security program that cost effectively monitors, manages and responds to internal and external network threats in real-time, around-the-clock.

Corporate networks have become increasingly more critical to the productivity and profitability of organizations large and small.   As enterprises extend these networks to suppliers, remote offices, partners and customers around the world, protecting the critical applications and business information that reside on these networks has become a primary concern of information technology executives worldwide.

Peak 10 is enhancing its managed security services to enable its customers to focus on their core business instead of monitoring and responding to network disruptions caused by both internal and external attacks, human error and the demands of regulatory compliance.  

“As companies continue to rely on the Internet to increase efficiency and improve corporate performance, the level of security expertise needed has become difficult and costly to acquire and maintain internally,” said Jeff Spalding, vice president of sales and marketing for Peak 10.

Through its relationship with ProtectPoint, Peak 10 now provides small and mid-sized businesses a complete suite of cost effective security services including managed intrusion detection and prevention, managed firewall and VPN, managed gateway virus and spam eradication, traffic analysis and managed content filtering.

“Today organizations of every size face security threats to their information assets and mission critical applications,” said Steve Harris, chief executive officer for ProtectPoint.

Peak 10 helps its customers maximize their technology investments and Internet presence through flexible, cost-effective and robust infrastructure hosting and management.
