Masergy Acquires Global Dataguard For Advanced Security Solutions
The company’s Security as a Service now includes Unified Enterprise Security™ to support cloud, premise, and hybrid IT environments.
Masergy Communications Inc. has announced the company has acquired Global DataGuard, Inc. The acquisition enhances Masergy’s existing portfolio of managed services with patented technology that leverages machine learning and expert human intelligence.
“In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, discrete signature or rule-based security solutions alone are not adequate from a risk management perspective. And as seen in recent news, even when businesses invest in advanced security solutions, the lack of systematic sharing and correlation of subsystem data and vigilant 24/7 monitoring leaves them exposed to advanced threats,” said Masergy’s CEO Chris MacFarland. “Cyber attacks are only going to become more intense and sophisticated — it’s a new battlefield. The acquisition of Global DataGuard uniquely positions Masergy to deliver solutions engineered to address these advanced persistent threats.”
