Data-Tech Named as Top 10 Managed Security Provider for 2015

Data-Tech, Tampa Bay's premier provider of IT Security and Managed Services, has been named one of this year's top 10 Managed Security Services providers in the industry by technology magazine CSO Outlook.

In the latest edition of CSO Outlook Magazine—a technology publication devoted to allowing high level executives across industries to share their insights—Data-Tech was recognized as one of the top 10 managed security service providers in the industry for 2015.  The Fremont, CA-based magazine touted Data-Tech as a pioneer in the field of Cyber Security, in part, for the company’s innovative and affordable Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) offering.

This honor is the latest in a series of accolades for Data-Tech, which was also recently named as the Tell Dell Partner of the Year at Dell’s annual “Peak Performance” event in Las Vegas.  This award is presented annually to a Dell partner that has received accolades for going above and beyond for a customer, or who has demonstrated commitment to the Dell SonicWALL partnership; Data-Tech has excelled in both areas.

"We're thrilled to be recognized as a top 10 managed security service provider in the industry. Our company has put in a tremendous amount of work to offer top notch, customizable and affordable solutions designed to help our clients achieve their goals through information technology. It's great to receive recognition from a publication like CSO Outlook."

Mike Ponticello, Chief information Officer, Data-Tech

Embracing the Future of IT Security

Since forming a unique partnership with Dell, Data-Tech has taken managed security to the next level for its clients.  The CSO Outlook article highlights this relationship, along with the innovative “Firewall-as-a-Service” (FWaaS) offering which allows Data-Tech customers to enjoy world class network security for an affordable monthly payment, while forgoing the large upfront capital expenditures of the past.

From the article: “Through FWaaS, companies pay for their security via a monthly operational expense (much like a utility bill), allowing budget-conscious companies to adopt top notch security without having to actually purchase the expensive hardware.”

An Answer to One of IT Security's Greatest Challenges

CSO Outlook also highlights Data-Tech and Dell’s innovative solution to one of cyber security’s greatest challenges at the moment: Dangerous cyber-attacks and threats hidden behind encrypted traffic.  Companies worldwide are falling victim at alarming rates to attacks veiled behind seemingly benign HTTPS and other SSL based traffic.  Again from the CSO Outlook feature:

“To combat this serious issue, Data-Tech offers customers Dell SonicWALL’s DPI-SSL technology, which stands for Deep Packet Inspection of Secure Socket Layer.  DPI-SSL extends Dell SonicWALL’s Deep Packet Inspection technology to actually allow for the inspection of encrypted HTTPS and other SSL-based traffic.”

Helping Clients Achieve Their Goals Through IT

“We’re thrilled to be recognized as a top 10 managed security service provider in the industry," says Data-Tech CIO Mike Ponticello. "Our company has put in a tremendous amount of work to offer top notch, customizable and affordable solutions designed to help our clients achieve their goals through information technology.  It’s great to receive recognition from a publication like CSO Outlook.”
