Connect IT Solutions adds RedShield to its portfolio
Wellington, New Zealand: Monday 20th March, 2017
RedShield is pleased to announce that it has signed a reseller agreement with Connect I.T. Solutions, the network and
security solutions experts, to supply the RedShield Service to their current and prospective North American enterprise
customers.
The agreement builds on RedShield’s regional growth strategy of partnering with highly skilled integrators that deliver
a range of security related solutions to their customers.
“RedShield’s track record on delivering true business outcomes for customers is what attracted us to their service,”
says Dave Reoch, Chief Technology Officer, Connect I.T. Solutions.
“Being able to mitigate all findings in web application Pen Testing reports is something that we hadn’t seen before, but
is absolutely necessary for our customers to extend the life of their application and to hit service and audit dates.”
The focus of the RedShield service is to rapidly and pragmatically shield detected application flaws without requiring
any direct software remediation. RedShield addresses technical flaws, where well managed WAF devices can be highly
effective, and also addresses business logic flaws where application state must be maintained and corrected.
RedShield’s customer base primarily use the service to extend the life of applications that have failed security audits
where direct software remediation is impractical, however RedShield has seen a recent uptick in two other generic use
cases. Firstly, short term shielding of applications that need to hit in-service or audit dates where the software dev
teams are constrained and secondly to delivery outsourced mature risk management to meet insurance company and
regulatory requirements.
“Most of our target customers already get Pen Testing done on their key public facing apps, but then often struggle to
address the findings rapidly, especially with older code and third party components where they don’t have control over
Software Development. With RedShield they have another option” says Andy Prow, CEO RedShield Security.
According to Prow, Connect I.T. Solutions was selected due to its experience and breadth in security solutions and
customer references.
“Connect I.T. Solutions has a stellar group of loyal customers that look to them for advice and solutions. Being able to
discuss RedShield to address outstanding Pen Test issues is a logical addition. We are excited to see what we can do
together.”
Connect I.T. Solutions will resell RedShield’s complete service line, focus especially on the Web Application shielding
service
