Paranet™ and Imanami Form Partnership to Combat Security Threats

May 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Dallas, TX – April 24, 2009 — Paranet™ Solutions, LLC, a leading global provider of Data Center, Network Infrastructure and Enterprise Services and Solutions, and Imanami, the leader in real-time Unified Communications (UC) security, mobile and multimedia communications, today announced the formation of a joint sales and marketing partnership with Imanami, a leader in Group Management Services. Paranet™ will now offer Imanami’s directory and group management solutions as part of its arsenal of services and solutions to enable customers nationwide the ability to enhance security, reduce costs and increase productivity.

Companies looking for security solutions have been thinking of the obvious weapons to combat unauthorized email access, such as encryption, but have missed an important element: Group Management. Accurate groups are essential to an enterprise. Without a way to automate group membership, an organization’s security groups do not grant the correct access and distribution groups don’t distribute mail to the correct users. With automated management, IT staff can improve security and productivity while reducing the amount of manual work required.

Paranet™ Solutions provides and manages customers with fully connected business-driven IT operating environments that are efficient, secure and reliable.  A trusted advisor to Fortune 1000 and mid-market companies across North America, Paranet™ offers expertise in server optimization, security, virtualization, IT architecture and service oriented architecture.

“Paranet™ recognized group management solutions as a power tool to solve security issues around group member identity management. This partnership enables Paranet™ to incorporate Imanami’s technology into its total services and solutions portfolio.  Additionally, the partnership will expand Imanami’s presence to new security markets.

Customers rely on us to provide solutions for a variety of security requirements," said Thomas Kearns, Principal, Risk Management and Security Services, Paranet™. "Recently we’ve seen a need for another layer of protection centered on group management. Through our partnership with Imanami we can provide our customers with additional tools for preventing unauthorized access.

“When you think of managing Active Directory groups, you probably don’t think security," said Robert Haaverson, CEO of Imanami. “But as IT resources are stretched thin, having an outdated group can leave a big security hole that’s open for exploitation. Imanami’s automated group management software, combined with Paranet™’s enterprise and network security expertise, will provide a comprehensive solution for identity management—correct group placement."
