So much security! Now even more!

Date: Feb 26 2010 | By Costa Chatjiantoniou

Remember the days of your Atari 2600 and when a Big Mac was good for you?
Well I do! Twenty years ago, nobody thought of SECURITY - security was paying your mortgage on time and having money left over for that vacation at the lake.
Now I have to worry about whether or not my computer is safe – and I have come to terms with that.
With the gaining popularity of Smartphones, texting, twittering and all other methods of staying connected, securing voice applications is becoming more important
I never thought my phones calls could be tapped but with the popularity of VoIP and how open the Internet is to abuse, our calls can be overhead with just a simple packet capture device or software like WireShark. This is crazy!
UM-Labs knows voice security is fast becoming a hot issue. They have incorporated ZRTP into their line of SIP Security Controllers. ZRTP is a cryptographic key-agreement protocol to negotiate the keys for encryption between two end points in a VoIP phone telephone call based on the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).
Just think of the benefits… how many times do you read your credit card number over the phone or give private information? Exactly, too many times! So, you’ve got to wonder, are your calls safe?
Now that I have to worry about whether or not my calls are safe, it is good to have a solution like the UM Labs SIP security controller to help me come to terms with that.

Interwork Technologies and CTERA Networks Announce Security As A Service for SMB Channel With Cloud Attached Storage™ Technology
Posted by sarahk @ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:54:57 -0500

Leading value-added distributor establishes partnership to help solution providers meet clients’ evolving data protection challenges

Interwork Technologies, a leading, value-added distributor (VAD) of managed security solutions, and CTERA Networks, an innovator in small business storage and data protection with easy-to-use, small form-factor storage, backup and file sharing solutions, today announce delivery of a cost-effective, all-in-one solution for file sharing and secure offsite backup, delivered as part of a Security as a Service (SaaS) suite called S-Sphere. An integrated suite of managed security services for channel partners, S-Sphere features products from five industry leading vendors, including CTERA, designed specifically for small and midsized business (SMB) resellers and solution providers.

Existing solutions for data storage and backup, such as servers and backup tape drives, are expensive, unreliable and error-prone, and can create immense challenges for SMBs and home offices. Coupled with lack of an IT staff, the backup procedures are often sporadic at best, creating the need for a cost-effective, all-in-one solution for file sharing and secure offsite backup. The popularity and effectiveness of SaaS can help solution providers and their clients effectively tackle storage—and data-related challenges, and the S-Sphere suite featuring CTERA can greatly help SMBs overcome obstacles and realize significant business benefits.

“CTERA solutions are an excellent way for our resellers to provide reliable, flexible storage bundled as an easy-to-use, remotely managed storage service,” said Tim Larocque, director of business development and marketing for Interwork. “Resellers can use CTERA solutions to meet their clients’ storage and data protection needs with the company’s unique, affordable offerings.”
Available through Interwork, the CTERA CloudPlug™ and CTERA C200™, combine network attached storage (NAS) with fast, automated and secure online backup. Users can easily access files and schedule backups from anywhere via a simple Web-based interface, and eliminate the need for costly tape backup and offsite storage. The solution provides shared storage, online backup and folder synchronization in a single device, and helps simplify storage processes and increase efficiency, enabling users to focus on running their business.

With CTERA’s management portal, centralized storage management and service provisioning is now a reality for resellers and their clients. Channel partners can use SaaS to bundle CTERA solutions with other monthly or managed IT services, and the CTERA solutions are ideal for value-added resellers, managed service providers (MSP) and Internet storage providers (ISP). They are also an excellent source of monthly recurring revenue, and S-Sphere allows resellers to provide CTERA solutions through their own branded, white-label portal.
“We are very pleased to offer Cloud Attached Storage through Interwork as part of the S-Sphere suite of managed security services,” said Liran Eshel, CEO of CTERA Networks. “We welcome the opportunity to show channel partners how easy it is to use the CTERA Portal to manage tens to tens-of-thousands of subscribers and control all aspects of Cloud Attached Storage, including provisioning, status monitoring and reporting, among other areas.”
