Data security is growing as an industry. It is exponentially expanding its developmental scope to accommodate the concerns of businesses and offer newer solutions as data breaches become more imminent. This is exactly where Secure Gateway® by ALSCO comes in and saves the day. What started as a software company later transitioned into a data center geared towards providing custom web applications and offering dedicated hosting for these applications on its server. The company operates on the narrative that clients’ valuable information becomes vulnerable over time, and there is no single security solution to provide absolute protection. ALSCO comes up with custom solutions for the problems, patents them, and then gets its products registered as a trademark, ‘Secure Gateway®.’
ALSCO started as a small company in 2007 in Iraq but has grown rapidly to become known internationally for providing high-performance network solutions. At present, its headquarter is in Michigan, United States, where a talented team of engineers works to provide all the services in one package. They proffer enterprise security solutions that help businesses keep their data safe by detecting malicious traffic intended for data theft. Whether their clients have an IT background or not, the company provides installs, monitors, and detects any mal-intended threat.
Most of the ALSCO security services are built on artificial intelligence, and that is what sets the company apart from its competitors. Its machine learning core uses patented security technology to detect and analyze potential security risks making ‘Secure Gateway’ the difference between bolt-on-security and built-on-security. While ALSCO focuses on technology, the company’s competitors target sales. Apart from that, because it is a public cloud computing platform, it offers a range of services, including those for computing, networking, storage, security, and application servicing. Cloud administrators and users access ALSCO services over the internet or through a dedicated network connection. Moreover, its products cater to domain registration, hosting, cloud servers, data security, as well as custom software.
As far as the network services are concerned, it includes load balancing and direct links that provide private connection to the ALSCO data center, domain service, and visualized network appliance. For computing, it offers various bare-metal and virtual server configurations accompanied by varied operating systems, hypervisors, and database platforms. The virtual service configurations provided by the company are available in either a single or multi-tenant mode. On the other hand, the bare-metal server configurations are only in a single-tenant mode.
Wait, there is more! ALSCO extends a high level of integration and automation service. Admins can manage and integrate all elements of the service through a proprietary application programming interface (API), web portal, and mobile applications. Additional tools make the services more advantageous—the administrators can move and scale bare-metal and virtual server images as per requirements.
To meet the changing security requirements of its clients, the company keeps on updating and developing its strategies and products. All ideas come from customer recommendations and market feedback. It checks on the requirements daily as received by customers, and the team of experts meets fortnightly to discuss the best possible way out. Once all ideas start to pour in, they dedicate their time to developing and working on the solutions until they are achieved. Besides that, ALSCO offers free learning courses to the community and free service to all non-profit organizations.
Focusing on enterprising solutions, most of ALSCO’s clients are government agencies and ministries. In addition to that, the company is also proud to serve the United Nations. It hosts, secures, and provides security solutions to all its clients worldwide.
