SAN JOSE, Calif., April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Untangle®
Inc., a leader in comprehensive network security for
small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and distributed enterprises,
today announced a new product integration partnership with
cybersecurity solution, Webroot Business Endpoint Protection. The
partnership sees Untangle's robust Command Center bringing together
the features of both Untangle NG Firewall and Webroot Business
Endpoint Protection to provide Channel Partners with a
comprehensive end-to-end security solution across the whole
network.
According to a recent State of the Channel survey, 99 percent of
Channel Partners indicated that cybersecurity, as an overall part
of their business, will increase or stay the same in 2020. However,
having many disparate IT solutions from multiple vendors makes the
life of a Partner or managed service provider (MSP) complex as they
need to log into multiple systems to ensure everything is working
in concert. With this partnership, Untangle and Webroot provide an
easy to use centralized management process to easily access the
unique and powerful benefits of both of their solutions. Together,
customers that have each product now have one place to go for a
daily check in of the status of their network, including all the
endpoints across sites.
"Untangle has been progressively partnering more with Webroot
over the last year, which has helped us defend our mutual customers
against cyber attacks from many angles," said Scott Devens, CEO at Untangle. "Now, with this
API integration, we're providing a seamless integration for our
customers with one of their preferred Endpoint Security solutions.
This integration makes it easier than ever to monitor, manage and
take necessary actions across their network."
Untangle partnered previously with Webroot to provide security
services within NG Firewall including integrating Webroot
Brightcloud Web Classification and Reputation API, Brightcloud IP
Reputation Service and Brightcloud Threat Insights.
"We're excited to extend our relationship with Untangle," said
Hal Lonas, Senior Vice President and
CTO, SMB and Consumer, OpenText. "We're always looking for ways to
reduce the complexity of security solutions for the end user. By
bringing Webroot's threat intelligence-powered endpoint protection
and Untangle's network protection into a centralized command
center, we can offer a seamless, single pane of glass experience to
both sets of customers and ultimately help improve their cyber
resilience."
The integration, free of charge to Untangle customers, further
enables admins to do more with a centralized solution. Untangle
Command Center now offers:
- Greater visibility of all endpoints on the network that are
registered with Webroot, plus details of all the devices detected
by NG Firewall
- The ability to initiate a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection
scan
- The status of the most recent Webroot endpoint scans including
time, threats discovered, and remediation actions taken
- Easy navigation to the Webroot Management Console
Understanding the increasing complexity of security monitoring
at the distributed enterprise or SMB level, Untangle and Webroot
have made their most powerful features available - allowing
Untangle NG Firewall to protect the corporate network, while
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection safeguards the endpoints -
ensuring ease of use through a seamless experience.
