ControlScan Extends Managed Security Services Capabilities With Dunbar Cybersecurity Acquisition (Press Release)
MSSP cites growing need to proactively address cyber threats.
ATLANTA, Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ControlScan, a
leader in managed security and compliance solutions that help secure networks
and protect payment card data, announces it has acquired Hunt Valley, Md.-based
Dunbar Cybersecurity, including its well-established Security Operations Center
(SOC) and powerful SIEM platform, Cyphon. The move brings additional advanced
capabilities to the best-in-class managed security services ControlScan delivers
to the mid-level enterprise.
With this strategic acquisition, ControlScan will strengthen
the threat detection and response capabilities of its established solution set,
helping the businesses it serves better manage an unprecedented number of
incoming cyber threats. The company’s decision to expand its capabilities comes
from recent research, including the 2017 Threat Monitoring, Detection andResponse Report, which found that a majority of organizations do not have the
internal manpower and/or expertise to effectively detect and respond to
cybersecurity threats.

“Having a strong cybersecurity defense is business critical,
but as attackers become increasingly advanced, it’s no longer realistic to
assume that defense is 100 percent impenetrable,” Mark Carl, CEO, ControlScan
said. “ControlScan has a solid track record of helping businesses defend, and
we are now enhancing our means to actively detect and quickly respond to
intrusions in real time, as they are happening.”
“Our goal is to provide an effective, mature cybersecurity
and threat detection program for the businesses we serve,” said ControlScan COO
Schane Simpson, who oversees operations of the company’s Managed Security
Services division. “The Dunbar Cybersecurity acquisition bolsters our team of
expert security analysts and allows us to leverage the Cyphon platform to
proactively identify and mitigate suspicious network activity on our customers’
behalf.”
Tom Callahan, Director of Operations for Dunbar
Cybersecurity, will continue with ControlScan as Director of MDR Services. “Dunbar
Cybersecurity’s growth has supported ongoing innovation in the way we monitor,
detect and respond to our customers’ cybersecurity threats,” Callahan said.
“Becoming a primary component of the ControlScan Managed Security Services
solution further advances the strong ROI we provide.”
The bulk of Dunbar Cybersecurity’s security analysts will be
retained by ControlScan post acquisition. Dunbar Cybersecurity customers can
expect a seamless transition to ControlScan Managed Security Services where
they, along with current ControlScan customers, will be presented with
additional managed security and compliance-related services.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. For

ControlScan and P97 Networks Partner to Enhance Mobile Commerce Security for Fuel and In-Store Transactions
Fuel retailers gain more secure transactions
than any other payment method
“Securing financial transactions is a primary focus for consumers, card issuers, merchants, oil & gas companies, and other value chain providers,” says Margaret McDonnell, Vice President of Customer and Credit Card Services at Gulf Oil. “We are proud to work with P97 Networks and ControlScan in delivering Gulf Pay to the marketplace in a safe and secure manner that protects consumers’ personal and financial data.”
The P97 PetroZone® platform connects merchants to their consumers by enabling payments and digital offer campaigns from any device or connected car. PetroZone provides merchants with mobile commerce capabilities that their prime buying demographics expect. By easing and securing the purchasing process, merchants benefit from increased sales, greater brand loyalty and lower operating costs.
ControlScan delivers site-level security with the PaySafe UTM Firewall Service, a managed security solution that actively protects the IT network perimeter from malicious activity. The two integrated solutions are Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant. PetroZone is also Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II compliant.
ControlScan and P97 monitor their systems in real-time, 24/7/365, and ControlScan-provisioned, LTE cell backup connectivity ensures payments continue to run—even when the Internet does not—keeping all mobile services connected to the cloud where above-site payments process. Additionally, ControlScan accelerates mobile payment deployment at managed sites, making the process seamless and efficient.
“The ControlScan-P97 partnership adds an important security component to today’s integrated business operations including mobile payment acceptance and customer loyalty programs,” Mark Carl, CEO, ControlScan said. “Together, we provide easily implemented, cost-effective solutions that increase revenue while ensuring that customer data remains secure.”
“P97 PetroZone employs a highly secure, defense-in-depth strategy that protects payment transactions and data,” Don Frieden, founder and CEO, P97 Networks said. “Our platform addresses vulnerabilities that expose traditional payment methods to card skimming and other forms of fraud. ControlScan is an integral part of our overall security strategy, and we are proud to partner with them in the market.”
