“Praetorian Secure has an excellent reputation for providing high-quality security services and we are pleased that they will offer Security Blanket to their existing and prospective clients,” stated Ed Hammersla, Chief Operating Officer, Trusted Computer Solutions. “They have an established presence in numerous companies that may not be aware of the enormous cost and resource savings that Security Blanket provides by automating the lock down of multiple operating systems.”
“We were introduced to Security Blanket by one of our customers,” stated Brent Bernard, Chief Executive Officer, Praetorian Secure. “It is the first tool we have seen that assesses the security of the operating system against industry standards and then automates the configuration of the operating system to meet those standards. We provide security services to government customers who require compliance to the Defense Information Security Agency (DISA) UNIX Secure Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIGs) as well as commercial companies that base their security policies on industry standard best practices. Security Blanket has these standards pre-defined so customers can lock down a server in seconds versus spending hours doing it manually. We are very pleased to be a reseller of this technology and look forward to a rewarding relationship with TCS.”
