The Instant MSSP program
allows partners to begin marketing and selling managed network and
security services immediately through an outsourced model rather than
having to build the infrastructure themselves. The program provides a
co-branded, private label offering for partners and includes the
marketing and sales training they need to remarket new high margin
services to their end user clients.

Instant MSSP offering incorporates Perimeter’s Gateway 4.0, the fourth
generation of the market’s leading “Security-in-the-Cloud�? solution.
Gateway 4.0 combines dozens of technologies from best-of-breed vendors
to create the industry’s first “business aware�? perimeter security
service. The Gateway security service replaces
traditional firewall and IDS monitoring services with a hosted,
network-based service that eliminates the need for all future capital
expenditures and integration costs. Gateway 4.0 provides over
60 pre-integrated network security services including Intrusion
