PLANO, Texas, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NetFortris, an award-winning end-to-end provider of managed cloud communication solutions and network services, including hosted voice, SD-WAN and SIP Trunking, has been named an honoree of a 2021 CSO50 Award from IDG's CSO.
This prestigious honor is bestowed upon a select group of organizations that have implemented security projects and initiatives demonstrating outstanding business value and thought leadership.
"The disruptive events of 2020 – combined with sophisticated and far-reaching attacks like SolarWinds – brought new challenges and costs to organizations, their security leaders, and business outcomes," said Amy Bennett, Executive Editor of CSO. "Our annual CSO50 Awards recognize security teams that bring innovation and thought leadership to solving for the many risks their organizations continue to face. This year's class of CSO50 winners represent an elite group of risk and security thought leaders, and we are pleased to give them the recognition they deserve."
NetFortris was honored for its next-generation global secure software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) with real-time and historical data analytics. NetFortris will accept its award at the CSO50 Conference + Awards held on November 16-18, 2021.
NetFortris built the first and most advanced secure SD-WAN with gateways deployed, configured and tested in 27 cities across six continents. Significantly, the provider completed the deployment in three months during the height of pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions.
The global SD-WAN network was built from the ground up in parallel to NetFortris' existing worldwide SD-WAN network and is the first to be built based on VMware SD-WAN™ software v.4. It includes critical features including stateful firewall for improved security, application awareness for traffic prioritization and enhanced analytics with deep data visualization for unprecedented network planning across multicarrier networks.
"By providing enhanced data analytics and reporting, NetFortris and its customers can see what's happening to traffic on their secure SD-WAN and make adjustments without spending additional capex or opex to upgrade network pipes unnecessarily," said Eric Krichbaum, Information Security Officer at NetFortris. "Alternatively, they have the data to justify new investment. Ultimately, SD-WAN data analytics and visualization enables more efficient use of network costs."
NetFortris provides managed network and communications services with the scalability and flexibility to meet the needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs) as well as midmarket and large enterprises. NetFortris offers its flagship Comm-unity Unified Communications Platform along with its managed SD-WAN solution and 4G backup to ensure quality of service (QoS) and business continuity. NetFortris services are managed 24/7 by an expert network engineering and operations team and backed by concierge customer advocacy, 24/7 in-house customer support, and consolidated billing for all services and locations.
