Netsurion and Ascend Technologies Expand MSP Protection

Netsurion, a Ft. Lauderdale-based managed security service provider (MSSP), has announced an expanded strategic partnership with master MSSP, Ascend Technologies to expand delivery of Managed threat protection to managed service providers (MSPs) and their small-to-mid-size business (SMB) customers.

“We have been steadfast in making it possible for IT service providers and managed service providers (MSPs) to offer reliable cybersecurity services,” said Justin Kallhoff, Chief Cybersecurity Officer at Ascend Technologies. “With the expansion of our relationship with Netsurion, we can deliver true managed threat protection with threat prediction and prevention, as well as incident detection and response. This level of protection is more important now than ever before with hybrid and remote working being increasingly common.”

“The relationship between Netsurion and Ascend Technologies, two top 50 MSSPs according to MSSP Alert, is significant news for MSPs and corporations alike,” said Stuart Dross, CRO at Netsurion. “To achieve effective cybersecurity, it means putting together defense-in-depth technology and the around-the-clock experts necessary to get results. Our partnership delivers this protection to those without resources, in a cost-effective way.”

Through this partnership with Netsurion, Ascend Technologies is expected to deliver enhanced managed security services to predict, prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats at a monthly cost. Netsurion’s EventTracker cyber threat protection platform provides SIEM, endpoint protection, vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection and other features. Netsurion’s BranchSDO delivers purpose-built technology with optional levels of managed services to multi-location businesses that are intended to optimize network security, agility, resilience, and compliance for branch locations.
