DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Masergy, a leading provider of hybrid networking, managed security and cloud communications solutions, today announced that its Unified Enterprise Security (UES) solution was selected as a finalist in this year’s Fierce Innovation Awards in the security category.

Applications were evaluated based on effectiveness, ease of use, ROI, true innovation and end-user impact. Masergy’s fully managed security solution stood out from other submissions due to its advanced tool suite, risk-prioritized security analytics, expert security team and world-class security and incident response processes.

This year, Masergy augmented its Managed Detection and Response platform with two new capabilities:

• Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (MEDR) - Cost-effectively finds and isolates compromised endpoints before any real damage is inflicted
• Network Visibility Tool - Provides contextual information to network events that log analysts need for effective threat response

“Today’s threat landscape requires an advanced security approach that goes beyond prevention to include rapid detection and response. Masergy pioneered Managed Detection and Response over 15 years ago and takes a comprehensive approach with an optimized combination of innovative technology, resilient processes, and expert security analysts all working together,” said Craig D’Abreo, Vice President of Security Operations at Masergy. “We are honored to have our Managed Detection and Response solutions recognized for Fierce Telecom’s innovation award.”
