COLUMBUS, Ohio/EWORLDWIRE/Oct. 1, 2009 --- MicroSolved Inc. (MSI) introduces a new way for companies to detect threats to their network environment without buying expensive equipment or manage time-intensive tools. Managed HoneyPoint is an efficient and economical approach toward providing an information security solution. Brent Huston, CEO of MicroSolved Inc. and Security Evangelist, explains, "HoneyPoints are flexible pseudo-server applications that are able to emulate thousands of real services such as Web, e-mail, database systems and others. Since these pseudo-services are not real applications, there is no reason for anyone to interact with them in any way. Thus, once deployed, any activity to a HoneyPoint is, by default, suspicious."
One of the benefits of Managed HoneyPoint is that if anyone or anything activates one of the HoneyPoints, a network administrator immediately receives an e-mail or SMS notification of the offending source, the intended target and just what the attacker was attempting to do. Another benefit is receiving monthly reporting of the events, making it easy to show auditors and upper management just what their investment is buying. Phone support from "The Hive" and advice on handling security incidents is included. Managed HoneyPoint clients even get discounted rates on assessments, penetration testing, application security, forensics and other types of security consulting from MicroSolved Inc.
Huston adds, "After an initial discussion with a member of the Hive who will help determine how you would like to deploy the HoneyPoints, we will configure everything for you. Once the HoneyPoints are delivered, it is a simple matter to install them, with the Hive providing support as needed. Most organizations are up and running in under 30 minutes."
