EverFast and High Wire Co-Sponsoring and Presenting at INTERFACE Kansas City 2023 on July 13
High Wire Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: HWNI), a leading global provider of managed cybersecurity and technology enablement, has been selected as the exclusive provider of managed cybersecurity services for business customers of EverFast Fiber Networks, the first independent fiber optic Internet Service Provider (ISP) headquartered in the Kansas City metro area.
The new partnership involves bundling High Wire’s Overwatch advanced cybersecurity managed services with networking technology and blazingly-fast Internet provided by EverFast. The bundle will include Managed Secure Edge with SD-WAN along with Overwatch Email Security and Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (MEDR) to help reduce cyber risk and insure optimal business application performance for small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises.
“Our new cybersecurity partnership with High Wire advances our goal of providing our business customers with worry-free internet,” stated EverFast CEO Paul Krueger. “We prioritize seamless service and reliability, so we chose High Wire because they can support this mission with best-of-breed technologies and a team of U.S.-based cybersecurity experts available 24/7. They take the complexity out of managed cybersecurity and enable us to effectively address the compliance requirements of organizations both large and small.”
High Wire’s Overwatch managed cybersecurity solution overlays its Chicago-based security operation center (SOC) with Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR), and is powered by its proprietary Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) technology. Together, these technologies effectively cut through the ‘noise’ and enable rapid user drill down for addressing real threats. This approach delivers enhanced operationalization of cybersecurity that allows a company’s security posture to continuously evolve with the ever-quickening pace of cybertime and the intensifying prevalence of cyber risk.
“As a local ISP, EverFast understands the special needs of its business customers,” noted High Wire CRO Stephan Tallent, “and it has built strong relationships and trust with the communities it serves. We look forward to supporting these valued relationships with a proven cybersecurity solution that can reduce risk and ensure business application availability.”
High Wire recently announced the launch of its new Overwatch Cyber Warranty™ Program. Available to EverFast and all of its Overwatch channel partners, the program is designed to provide an affordable financial safety net for managed service providers (MSPs) and their business clients in the event of a cybersecurity breach.
