Bivio Networks and Global Crossing have announced a technology partnership to deliver managed security services and network monitoring for U.S. government customers.
Global Crossing (News - Alert) is a global IP solutions provider with the world’s first integrated global IP-based network. The company’s federal sector will use Bivio Networks (News - Alert) products, including the recently announced a Continuous Threat Monitoring solution.
Using network monitoring related products, the company expects to provide a powerful managed security service to U.S. Government customers that will include continuous network monitoring, intrusion detection, anomaly detection and data retention.
Company officials said that the service leverages the tools, techniques and procedures that Global Crossing has developed to protect its own global IP network as well as to facilitate the protection of its customers’ networks.
Dr. Elan Amir (News - Alert), president and CEO at Bivio Networks, noted that increasingly, government customers are turning to managed services to deliver the security, performance and manpower necessary to optimize and protect critical infrastructure.
“We look forward to applying our cyber security expertise to equip Global Crossing's Federal Sector with the unprecedented network awareness and in-depth forensic capabilities necessary to provide the most advanced managed security services available today,” Dr. Amir said.
With this partnership, Global Crossing plans to provide professional services; management of security hardware and applications; and operational support for continuous network monitoring.
“Bivio Networks’ Continuous Threat Monitoring Solution makes it an ideal partner for Global Crossing’s Federal Sector to proactively monitor, control and protect network infrastructure and information,” said John Sutton, executive vice president and general manager of Federal Sector at Global Crossing.
Sutton said that this new service reflects Global Crossing’s commitment to providing its U.S. federal customers end-to-end solutions for enhanced security across the entire infrastructure.
Bivio Networks is a provider of network systems for securing, network monitoring and controlling critical network infrastructure. Last month, the company announced Continuous Monitoring Solution that allows network administrators to detect and counteract known and unknown threats in real time.
