Norway’s Norman Announces Security-as-a-Service Solution

Norman ASA, a network security company, announced that Norman Online Protection (NOP), a Security-as-a-Service solution for cloud-based secure email, secure web surfing and secure online backup, is available.

The cloud-based services deliver security protection for email communication and web surfing to stop malware and other threats before they reach an organization’s information systems. Norman Online Protection is placed outside an organization’s network and can be rapidly and cost effectively set up, requiring no hardware or software installation.

It consists of three services,  SecureTide,  SecureSurf and  Online Backup:

• SecureTide is a cloud-based email protection service for businesses which eliminates 99% of unwanted email before it reaches a user’s network. This is a service that enables organizations of any size to manage email communications with advanced protection available. This system is continually updated 2,000-4,000 times a day to ensure high level of available protection.
• SecureSurf is a security service for businesses which protects an organization’s network from web-based malware attacks and shields users from unwanted offensive content. With SecureSurf, sites known to have malicious content are blocked automatically. Additionally, the service allows IT organizations to set user policies to determine appropriate web surfing behavior and improve productivity. Unlike other web filtering services that inhibit web surfing performance by routing traffic through a proxy server, SecureSurf’s DNS lookup engine immediately determines the safety and appropriateness of a site based on threat detection technology and preset policies.
• Online Backup is a service for small businesses, home offices and consumers. It delivers safe and affordable storage with access from PC and Mac and mobile platforms including Android and Apple iOS devices.

                
€219 per year for 100GB , unlimited PCs

Research indicates that more than one-in-five users never backup, even though the value of the data on a computer – irreplaceable files and personal data – exceeds the value of the PC platform itself. Secure online backup solutions are increasingly preferred because hardware backup appliances are vulnerable to breakdown and failure.
