Netsurion announced that its remotely-managed data and network security services were named best Managed Security Service in the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, honoring companies and individuals that demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership in information security.

This independent awards program is produced in cooperation with the Information Security Community on LinkedIn, tapping into the experience of 300,000+ cybersecurity professionals to recognize the world’s best cybersecurity products, individuals and organizations.

Netsurion provides industry-leading data security and computer network management services for multi-location businesses. Its centrally-managed, highly scalable service deploys easily and integrates enterprise-class equipment with best-in-class security architecture, providing an unparalleled level of security and manageability for its clients’ wired and wireless networks and POS systems.

“Hackers are targeting—and successfully breaching— multi-location brands, franchisees and other SMBs with alarming frequency. The effects on compromised companies’ financials and reputations can be devastating and unrecoverable—hurting profit and customer trust,” said Netsurion CEO Kevin Watson. “Our goal is to ensure our customers’ brands are protected by providing them robust and powerful network management, security and compliance services at a fraction of the costs associated with self-managed solutions—keeping the burden off the owners’ shoulders. We’re honored that our efforts have led to this prominent industry recognition as a security leader.”

"Congratulations to Netsurion for being recognized as the winner in the Managed Security Service category of the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards," said Holger Schulze, founder of the 300,000-member Information Security Community on LinkedIn. "With more than 430 entries, the awards are highly competitive, and winners reflect the best in product innovation and excellence in the cybersecurity space."
