Tesserent: Next-Generation Network Security Services

Network Security is not just about safeguarding the usability and integrity of the network and data but also layering multiple security technologies to provide defence in depth. In order to secure a network, organizations require specialized security staff with expertise in cyber-security network design that are also capable to carry out the implementation and network monitoring. However, most businesses are seldom in the position to have a security team large enough to manage and monitor their network 24x7x365. At the same time, it is extremely difficult for businesses to attract and keep highly qualified security specialists due to the skills shortage in this area. This is where Tesserent shines as a next generation Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) enabling its clients to have a specialised security staff on board whenever the requirement arises. Tesserent is an ASX-listed cyber-security company providing world-class managed security services to Australian and international customers. The company manages its own proprietary security platform and partners with some of the world’s leading OEM security providers. Keith Glennan, CEO of the company says, “Our business is focused on making sure our customers can feel confident that their network security is being managed by a team of professionals, so they can keep focused on growing and optimising their business.”

With its head office and SOC situated in Melbourne, Australia, Tesserent caters to over 400 customers through its direct business and wholesale partner model. Predominately, the company services local customers in Australia directly; however, it also has direct and indirect customers in 11 countries and territories overseas.

Tesserent provides a world-class security service to ensure that its customers’ networks are secured against online threats. The company provides expert security services including world-class perimeter protection, internal monitoring and alerts (SIEM), secure internet connectivity, and co-location. With its efficient security solution suite, the company ensures that the customer’s network is managed to the highest security standards.

As a Managed Security Service Provider, the company is dedicated to delivering a robust security solution with the opportunity to incorporate new products and services as the threat landscape and customers’ security needs evolve.

Tesserent strives to provide a reinforced perimeter security solution as well as to mitigate risks inside the network with the help of ‘SIEMplicity’; Tesserent’s managed SIEM service powered by AlienVault and Tesserent Secure Internet (internet connectivity). The company also provides managed firewall based on the Tesserent proprietary platform.

Tesserent practices highly pragmatic and customer centric approach towards its clients. The company’s extensive list of long term blue-chip customers is validation of its approach towards customer service and support. In addition to employing the best-of-breed technologies with regards to its own proprietary platform, the company has also joined forces with world-class partners who provide inputs to its overall security offering. Tesserent partners with some of the world’s leading OEM security vendors to ensure its products and services are truly world-class.

Tesserent is reaching out to the elites in its vertical to further integrate its services and mitigate a wider range of challenges within network security. The company is currently expanding its SIEMplicity product (managed SIEM) rapidly in response to changes in the market, particularly the recent changes in Australia to the Data Breach Notification Legislation. “We continue to expand our product offering as the threat landscape and customer needs evolve,” concludes Glennan.
