RSA appoints Communication Valley Reply as its first RSA Managed Security Program Services Provider in Europe

25 February 2014

Communication Valley Reply, the Reply group company specialising in managed security services, today announced at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, that it has been appointed as the first Europe-based RSA Managed Security Program services provider by RSA, The Security Division of EMC.

This endorsement further strengthens the two companies’ long alliance, having worked together closely on key security projects for Europe’s leading industrial groups. Communication Valley Reply and RSA have pooled their expertise to collaborate in the area of research and development, focused on managed security services projects.

Communication Valley Reply is now a leading provider of managed security services, delivering them through its own Security Operation Centre (SOC), a specialist physical and logical facility for remote management of IT security and communications. The centre acts as a “control tower” and is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a security team of analysts, systems experts and testers specialising in real-time monitoring, security device management and security assessment.

"Organizations of all types and sizes are now more keenly aware of the need to employ intelligence-driven security solutions to stay ahead of stealthy malware and targeted attacks that are bypassing perimeter- and signature-based security controls," said Grant Geyer, RSA Vice President of Security Analytics. "RSA, together with MSP partners such as Communication Valley Reply, are now able to make advanced security capabilities accessible as fully managed services to European enterprises that can help accelerate the detection, remediation and management of security incidents and vulnerabilities against the latest cyber threats".

"Working with RSA, a world leader in security solutions, allows us to make our expertise on the latest technological innovations available immediately to a wide customer-base through our SOC," said Guido Guerrieri, Reply Executive Partner.

Communication Valley Reply offers specific services, based on RSA products, including RSA® Security Analytics for optimising and adding value to acquired technologies and for real-time remote security monitoring of customer environments. These services are essential to help improve customers’ operational and business continuity and security while exploiting the potential of technology to the fullest.
