LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Windstream (NYSE: WIN) is now offering ConnectStream Secure, a
high-performance yet affordable managed security product for small and
medium business customers.
Small businesses may think they are too small to be targeted for a cyber
attack, but network security is more important than ever. New
vulnerabilities arise every day, and an attack can put businesses at
risk for losing important data, halting employee productivity and
damaging a company's reputation. Increasingly, skilled and motivated
hackers are targeting small and medium businesses to gather valuable
business data from their systems using stealthy exploits.
ConnectStream Secure unifies stand-alone security services, such as
anti-virus protection, firewalls and intrusion prevention and detection,
into a single threat-management solution for small businesses.
ConnectStream Secure goes beyond protecting PC desktops. It defends the
entire office computing environment, including application servers,
network printers and wireless LAN devices, against the latest generation
of Internet threats.
With ConnectStream Secure, small businesses now have access to a robust
security solution that protects their networks in real time from the
latest outbreak of Internet threats, including viruses, trojans,
botnets, spyware, and application vulnerabilities. The product is
convenient, simple and affordable for small and medium businesses and is
a fully managed solution with 24/7 support.
"Internet security threats have increased and are constantly becoming
more sophisticated," said Don Perkins, Windstream vice president of
marketing. "Windstream is meeting the demand for an affordable security
solution that provides advanced technology for even the smallest
business customer."
The ConnectStream Secure Pro Bundle package is $39.99 a month with a
three-year contract, and provides a turnkey network security solution
that includes a managed Internet gateway appliance that delivers
ICSA-certified firewall, anti-virus and intrusion prevention services
along with customer-friendly security reports.
The ConnectStream Secure Power Bundle package is $79.99 a month with a
three-year contract and delivers all the core security features of the
Pro Bundle, plus productivity-enhancing multi-site IPSec Virtual Private
Networks and remote access capabilities.
Customers also can add encrypted 802.11 b/g WiFi access and/or web
content filtering to either security package. For further product
