Cybera and Verizon Wireless Team to Deliver Next Generation Cloud-Based Security Services

Cybera becomes Verizon Wireless Vertical Solution Provider to Meet Growing Need of Distributed Enterprises and Remote Applications for Machine to Machine Connectivity

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cybera, Inc., today announced that they have become a Vertical Solution Provider (VSP) of Verizon Wireless. With this new relationship, Cybera and Verizon will deliver network security services coupled with embedded wireless for distributed enterprise locations via Cybera ONE, a cloud-based network security solution. The Cybera ONE solution meets growing network security needs through machine to machine connectivity for distributed enterprises, remote assets and connected applications. The Cybera ONE solution is currently available and is experiencing rapid adoption by distributed businesses. Recent and in-progress customer deployments of the Cybera ONE solution with embedded wireless span a variety of vertical industries including retail, restaurant/hospitality, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing across many well recognized brands such as Shell, Exxon, Mobil, Logan’s Roadhouse and Kirkland’s. Each of these enterprises benefits from comprehensive network security and increased reliability of integrated backup connectivity through embedded M2M wireless connectivity. The Cybera ONE security services platform with integrated Verizon LTE or 3G access eliminates the need for multi-location businesses to deploy multiple devices at each location to serve all networking, security and wireless needs.

“Many enterprises seek to minimize offline conditions by replacing or supplementing traditional broadband connectivity with reliable high-speed wireless connections”

“Many enterprises seek to minimize offline conditions by replacing or supplementing traditional broadband connectivity with reliable high-speed wireless connections,” said Verizon Wireless Regional President Jerry Fountain. “With a high demand for solutions that provide wireless connectivity and security, Verizon sees great value in combining Cybera’s fully managed cloud security service with our wireless network. Our collective business objective is to provide businesses with solutions that can reduce their cost of operations, enhance customer service and increase security.”

Network security can be costly, complex and time consuming to address. Cybera ONE, a fully managed cloud-based security solution with managed Firewall, UTM, Wireless IDS, Virtual Private Network, and security information/event management reduces the cost and complexity of network security. However, even in compliant environments, increasingly common security threats exploit network offline conditions.

Cybera ONE, with certified embedded M2M wireless capabilities from Verizon Wireless for backup, ensures network connectivity is maintained even when the primary connection is unavailable. This allows mission-critical applications to continue to work as normal, enabling a better customer experience and preventing loss of business.

“Industry trends show an increasing reliance on cloud-based applications and wireless connectivity,” said Cliff Duffey, CEO of Cybera. “By working with Verizon Wireless, we are able to provide a simplified solution to distributed businesses for improved network security and reliability. Additionally, through the VSP relationship, we’ve more than tripled the size of our indirect sales force, enabling us to bring the Cybera ONE solution platform to a greater number of potential customers.”
