Venyu Awarded 2014 Internet Telephony TMC Labs Innovation Award

BATON ROUGE, LA--(Marketwired - Jul 17, 2014) - Venyu, a leader in business continuity, cloud-based virtualization, and battle-tested data recovery, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company, named Sentinel Security Suite as a 2014 INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award winner presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

"The INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award represents the best and the most unique products and services that this industry has to offer. Venyu has proven their commitment to quality and the further development of the IP communications industry through its Sentinel Security Suite," stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.

The INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award honors products that display innovation, unique features, and significant contributions toward improving communications technology. The awards are bestowed to those companies demonstrating ground-breaking contributions to the industry.

Sentinel Security Suite combines security tools and expertise with VMware's vCloud Director Cloud to remove the need for customers to purchase dedicated software, or appliances for security services. The award-winning solution provides customers with an up-to-date Intrusion Detection System (IDS) database with assistance to monitor all security events occurring in the cloud and/or physical environments.

"Offering cloud-based data security is no longer an option -- it's a necessity," said Scott Thompson, CEO, Venyu. "Every day there are new security threats that find their way onto servers. These often go undetected because organizations simply do not have the expertise or the time to monitor tens of thousands of log entries to determine their presence. Venyu's Sentinel Security Suite automates this entire process and backs it up with trained professionals within a 24/7 Security Operations Center. We are honored that TMC views this service as innovative and industry leading."

Venyu's Sentinel Security Suite features:

• Use intelligent multi-factor correlation to identify suspicious activity in network traffic that may be harmful to IT assets. After validation by a Level 1 SOC analyst, customers are notified with recommended actions and responses.
• Collect, aggregate and normalize log data whether it originates on premise, in a hosted environment, or within the cloud.
• Integrated review and case management capabilities that allow an organization to track and report on incident trends. Built-in workflow and case management tools provide an auditable trail of any suspicious findings and give a historical perspective of the entire security and compliance operations.

The 2014 TMC Labs Innovation Award recipients were announced on www.tmcnet.com/voip and will be published in INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

"Congratulations to the entire team at Venyu for earning this great honor. I look forward to seeing more innovative solutions from them as they continue to contribute to the future of IP communications," Tehrani added.
