Market Leaders Deliver One Solution to Secure Critical Data at Network and Server Levels

Tripwire Inc., the leading provider of data and networking integrity (DNI) solutions, and Recourse Technologies, the leading supplier of threat management solutions, today announced an industry first technology partnership to deliver a comprehensive network- and host-based intrusion detection solution that provides customers with a robust defense strategy to detect and prevent network and server attacks.

The solution provides customers with a one-stop network security solution.

“By combining Tripwire’s best of breed integrity solution and Recourse’s cutting edge threat management solution we will be able to provide the industry with the ability to detect and stop attacks more quickly and effectively,” said Frank Huerta, president and CEO of Recourse Technologies. “No other partnership provides customers with a more comprehensive host- and network-based intrusion detection solution. We’re excited to work with Tripwire to deliver to our customers a lower total cost of ownership for a higher value security solution.”
