Nuspire Networks, leading provider of state-of-the-science network management and security solutions, announced the acquisition of Security Confidence, the Cincinnati, Ohio-based provider of business IT security and disaster recovery solutions.

The acquisition of Security Confidence is an important step in Nuspire’s continued efforts to serve as the managed security services provider (MSSP) of choice for large, Fortune 500 companies with a dispersed footprint and complex compliance environments.

With the addition of Security Confidence’s expertise, staff and proficiency in the areas of development and network security, Nuspire is able to further differentiate from competitions while bolstering an already robust portfolio of security offerings and services designed to rapidly identify threats and mitigate risks for its customers.

“Nuspire and Security Confidence both are pioneers in managed services by moving beyond the classic monitor and support model for MSS; to focus on the service level deliverables and truly take responsibility for customers’ networks,” said Saylor Frase, President and CEO of Nuspire Networks. “The integration of Security Confidence’s expertise and proprietary technology has tremendous synergies and significantly bolsters the unique value and differentiation in Nuspire services. We are thrilled to welcome the Security Confidence team into the Nuspire family and believe together we are much more than a sum of our parts.”

Founded in 2003, Security Confidence is an award winning MSSP with highly technical and skilled engineers, programmers and security analysts focused on providing managed IT security and disaster recovery solutions. The company’s business is growing, with a strong partner program built around its cloud-based technologies.

The company has customers ranging from SMEs to Fortune 500s, operating across several industries, including Healthcare, IT Services, Energy, and Finance.

Security Confidence’s technology provides enhanced visibility in companies’ security environments across distributed locations and simplifies the analysis and correlation of disparate log data.

Its logMojo cloud-based SIEM product will add significant efficiency to Nuspire’s product line-up. Backed by Security Confidence’s own processing cloud, the big data analytics solution combines real-time analysis of log data with Intelligent Alerting and Dynamic Drill Down Reporting at high speed.

“We are excited to become a part of the Nuspire Networks team as we believe that the company’s mission and objectives closely align with our efforts at Security Confidence. The combination of the two organizations integrates Big Data security analytics with deep human analysis,” said Matt Corney, President and CEO of Security Confidence. “As an example, our logMojo Cloud SIEM collects and analyzes billions upon billions of logs everyday that are monitored by security engineers in Nuspire’s global 24x7x365 Security Operations Center. It is incredible how well our organizations complement each other. Nuspire’s existing teams can help augment resources we need in development and 24×7 monitoring. Further, the need for security monitoring and managed services across distributed locations and complex operating environments will only continue to grow and our joint offerings are ideally suited to handle the security needs of the companies impacted.”
