Springfield, MO (Sept. 18, 2019) — Pearson-Kelly Technology announced the nationwide launch of its managed security services provider (MSSP) division. Coupled with the new division is the product launch of the PKT Secure program, which is designed to enhance threat detection and response capabilities.
Michael George, CEO of Continuum’s Boston-based Master MSSP, stated, “Cybercrime is now larger than any other forms of crime, combined.” SMBs today are struggling with scalability and operational overhead of their legacy SIEM platforms and are looking to solutions that are cost-effective, easy to manage and provide industry-leading threat detection. PKT Secure addresses these needs by providing a solution with flat identity-based pricing, available as a fully managed cloud service, and delivers advanced threat detection/response.
Chelsey Bode, president of Pearson-Kelly Technology, says, “Don’t overthink or complicate your security strategy. Think of it as you’d think of protecting your home.”
“In previous years, business owners could ignore their exposure to cybercrimes. If they continue without protection, they may not be in business much longer,” said Tyson Petty, vCIO of Pearson-Kelly Technology. This is why PKT Secure is going to be an integral piece of their MSP puzzle moving forward.
Some of the critical benefits of this new product include:
- Ransomware prevention
- Customized DNS filtering
- Annual Awareness training presentations
- Security awareness training tools for staff
- Vulnerability scanning
- Managed SIEM/security log management
- 24×7 SOC monitoring and security
“Many SMB’s have strategic plans for overall business growth but miss the boat when it comes to being strategic with their technology initiatives,” Bode said. “Tech decisions should be strategic and point to a company’s overall business objectives as best practice.”
