PRESS RELEASE — CHANNEL PARTNERS — MegaPath (Booth 344 and a Meeting Room Sponsor), a leading provider of voice, data, security and cloud services in North America, today announced the release of its Managed IPsec VPN and Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution. The new managed network and security service is simpler and faster to implement than other types of private networking solutions, and can be used with virtually any commodity Internet connection. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized businesses for its low start-up costs, quick implementation and ease of management.

MegaPath’s fully managed IPsec VPN securely connects distributed work sites and remote workers with end-to-end encryption and next-generation firewall to ensure confidentiality, data integrity and authentication. Users gain safe and secure access to enterprise data and applications among branch locations and from remote laptops, tablets, and other devices.

Unified Threat Management (UTM) provides comprehensive, multi-layered security that safeguards company networks and information assets against viruses, malware and emerging cyber threats with components such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Content Filtering, and Antivirus and Anti-phishing. Combined with MegaPath’s Managed IPsec VPN and Firewall, the solution delivers integrated, end-to-end network security that is superior to do-it-yourself and multiple standalone solutions.{ad}

“Do-it-yourself networking and data security can be complex, time-consuming, and difficult to implement and manage,” said Kurt Hoffman, President and CEO, MegaPath. “MegaPath simplifies networking and security for our customers by taking the burden off of IT managers and business owners to secure their networks. SMB customers and their IT partners can now rely on a single service organization for the licensing, procurement, installation, management, and maintenance of their secure network infrastructure, all for a single flat fee per site.”

MegaPath’s IPsec VPN and UTM delivers a comprehensive network security solution to protect data in transit. Businesses can now protect intellectual property while promoting regulatory compliance and reducing total cost of ownership. The solution empowers organizations to implement a complete security solution and free up IT resources to support other business objectives.
