REGINA and WINNIPEG – SaskTel is partnering with Winnipeg-based information assurance company Seccuris on an Information Assurance Portal (IAP) which will provide information security services to small and mid-enterprise business customers across Canada.
The first release of the IAP, targeted for fall 2012, will provide threat monitoring and notification services. Subsequent releases will include new services such as on demand vulnerability management services, risk based information asset management, and business threat and risk assessment services.
"SaskTel and Seccuris have developed a strong relationship over the past three years”, said SaskTel president and CEO Ron Styles, in the announcement. “This partnership to develop the IAP is a natural evolution of our relationship and provides a good business opportunity for SaskTel. Integrating information security services with our own suite of network services provides excellent value for our customers.”
"The strength of our partnership with SaskTel, and the combination of our intellectual property and their tier one facilities, provided us with an excellent opportunity to develop a unique way of delivering information security services to a broader market”, added Seccuris CEO Geoff Besko. “The IAP will lead to business growth for both SaskTel and Seccuris, enabling both organizations to increase our markets and achieve our strategic objectives.”
