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.
