“Terremark Worldwide Inc.”, a provider of managed IT infrastructure services, has announced a new partnership with NetWitness to offer “NetWitness NextGen” to it’s enterprise-class “Cloud computing” customers. Terremark says that NetWitness NextGen was the perfect match for them because it provides “critical, proactive intelligence” that will help aid their customers in detecting even the most vicious of network threats and to cut down on the risk exposure window for their customers who have been dealing with the more sophisticated malware threats. It will also aid in stopping data leakage, or any other sort of unauthorized communications that are ever-so critical to prevent in this information age.

‘Christopher Day’, Terremark’s Chief Security Architect stated:

“Within enterprises and Federal government agencies, security in the cloud is a primary concern and protecting customers against network threats is vital to the overall security of any cloud infrastructure. Terremark’s recognized team of security experts combine their vast experience and knowledge in dealing with today’s most sophisticated cyberthreats with leading technologies like NextGen to allow customers across our stack of services a way to proactively identify, detect, and mitigate security problems.”

Terremark goes on to explain how NetWitness NextGen is the best company to provide their customers with network security visibility and monitoring services. Terrremark places confidence in NextGen’s ability to stop the “advanced persistent” security threats that companies today face from a wide variety of nefarious organizations or in many cases even from the competition. Sometimes the threat is not always from outside. NextGen also aims to help companies with insider threat management and protect them from critical data leakage.  NetWitness’ NextGen also focuses on the problems of  designer malware, zero-day detection, and network e-discovery.

Amit Yoran, CEO of NetWitness Corporation, declared:

“NetWitness is honored to be working closely with Terremark to provide advanced protection for its customers in the public and private sectors. As government and commercial organizations move to cloud computing and managed security operations centers, the combination of Terremark’s enhanced security solutions with the unique analytics and threat intelligence provided by NetWitness NextGen provides a force multiplier to reduce the risk associated with network threats.”

The Terremark-NetWitness partnership should benefit both companies greatly. This will provide a valuable new service to Terremark’s managed hosting and cloud hosting/computing customers, as well as bring a new revenue source to NetWitness.
