New SaaS platform delivers gateway security for the cloud

Organizations are increasingly faced with the need to support a more distributed environment, with employees accessing data on mobile devices and information stored both in-house and in the cloud.

Keeping these systems secure places a strain on traditional gateway security models, but cyber security company iboss is launching a new Distributed Gateway Platform is purposefully designed and packaged to offer today’s distributed organizations advanced gateway security capabilities.

Delivered as a SaaS solution, features include include malware detection and response, content filtering, behavioral analytics and risk scoring, mobile device management, and sandboxing in one comprehensive, modular platform.

It uses an elastic, node-based architecture built for the cloud. This is designed to solve the dual challenges of providing advanced security for today's distributed organizations and scaling to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth demands of global enterprises -- without the need for customers to buy and manage expensive on-premises appliances.

"iboss is disrupting the traditional SWG market and putting other vendors on notice -- it's time to stop fleecing enterprises with costly legacy appliances, data backhauling costs and complex, opaque pricing and packaging models," says Paul Martini, CEO of iboss. "We are changing the way cybersecurity is delivered and managed; the iboss Distributed Gateway Platform provides protection for distributed organizations in a 100 percent SaaS subscription that is as easy and straightforward as buying Office 365."

Plans are available for different sizes of network and levels of security. You can find out more on the iboss site and and on Wednesday, April 27 at 12 noon ET the company and 451 Research will be hosting a best-practices webinar on overcoming the technical and operational challenges of securing modern networks with remote offices and mobile workers.
