Hosting Talk - DENVER – FORTRUST, Colorado’s leading high-availability data center services provider and colocation facility, today announced that it has added a strong suite of information security services to its data center services portfolio. The services will be marketed as FORTRUST Managed Security Services and complement the data center’s comprehensive set of managed services and colocation offerings.

FORTRUST Managed Security Services allows its data center customers to outsource administration of information security services so that they may better indentify, manage and mitigate their security weaknesses and receive enhanced protection of their data and networks. As with other FORTRUST Managed Services, the security solutions are centered on precise processes and procedures with a strict emphasis on vigilance. FORTRUST’s customers can rely on increased information security without having to invest in expensive systems and on-premises security hardware.

FORTRUST Managed Security Services feature:
• Comprehensive and ongoing security audits and assessments
• Strategic planning and information security program development
• Technology implementation and vulnerability mitigation
• Day-to-day IT security operations and support
• Policy and compliance strategies for a broad range of industries (HIPAA/SOX/NIST/ISO 27002/PCI DSS)

“We’re pleased to offer FORTRUST data center customers another valuable service that enhances the security, performance, and availability of their IT investment,” said Rob McClary, general manager of FORTRUST. “FORTRUST Managed Security Services is a practical, comprehensive and cost-effective way for our customers to increase the integrity of their networks and data so that they can focus on their core business competencies while reducing operating costs.”

The addition of Managed Security Services complements FORTRUST’s broad suite of managed services. Companies often choose to outsource their security services to a managed services provider such as FORTRUST so they can take advantage of economies of scale to enhance the value of their IT investment. The result is improved operational efficiency and service levels and reduced operating costs.

FORTRUST will work with Applied Trust Engineering, a Boulder, Colorado-based service solutions provider, to support the information security solution portion of its security solutions offering. Applied Trust Engineering was selected by FORTRUST because of the company’s best-in-class offerings and its commitment to quality and customer service. Just as FORTRUST is dedicated to providing superior data center services as its core offering, Applied Trust Engineering is focused on information security as a core competency. Further, Applied Trust’s ability to quickly scale its solutions to meet FORTRUST’s projected growth was a key factor in its selection.

“FORTRUST is a world-class provider of high-availability data center services, and we’re dedicated to working with their top-notch team to deliver a superior suite of information security services to their customers,” said Trent R. Hein, CEO of Applied Trust Engineering. “Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data within a customer's environment is essential for business operations and, in many cases, regulatory compliance. We look forward to providing practical, cost-effective information security services that address these needs for FORTRUST and its customers.”
