Latest services help secure the cloud, protect remote workers and rapidly respond to threats
LONDON, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Redscan, the Managed Detection and Response and Penetration Testing specialist, today announced the availability of its services on G-Cloud 12 - the latest iteration of the UK Government's cloud procurement platform.
The Redscan services listed are ThreatDetect- Managed Detection and Response as well as CREST-accredited Penetration Testing and IT Health Checks. These services are designed to enable organisations to reliably secure their infrastructure and assets as well as rapidly detect and respond to threats.
Ever-increasing attacks on providers of critical services mean that cyber security is of huge concern across the public sector. An increase in remote working has only increased overall risk and complexity - a challenge that Redscan's security experts, technology and threat intelligence are proven to help organisations address.
"Events over the last six months only remind us of the value of the public sector and the importance of ensuring that organisations within it have access to the support they need to defend against the threats they face daily," said Mark Nicholls, Redscan CTO.
"By making our services available via G-Cloud 12, we aim to ensure security and IT teams can easily call upon additional expertise to protect cloud workloads and users, plus detect and respond to attacks before they cause damage.
"Our offensive security expertise, cloud-native technology, and experience of working with organisations across the public and private sectors means we are a security partner that can be trusted to keep pace and deliver security outcomes that matter."
