Masergy Communications has bolstered its cyber security credentials following the acquisition of Global DataGuard.
Masergy's CEO Chris MacFarland said: "In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, discrete signature or rule-based security solutions alone are not adequate from a risk management perspective.
"And as seen in recent news, even when businesses invest in advanced security solutions, the lack of systematic sharing and correlation of subsystem data and vigilant 24/7 monitoring leaves them exposed to advanced threats.
"Cyber attacks are only going to become more intense and sophisticated - it's a new battlefield. The acquisition of Global DataGuard positions Masergy to deliver solutions engineered to address these advanced persistent threats."
Masergy's Security as a Service suite now includes enterprise security solutions with UnifiedEnterprise Security and Professional Services.
