Chip Ganassi Racing Goes Full Throttle With StillSecure Products
Safe Access and Strata Guard Are the Cornerstone of Ganassi’s Network Security Initiative
SUPERIOR, CO–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – StillSecure®, provider of secure network
infrastructure solutions, today announced that Chip Ganassi Racing Teams,
Inc. (CGR) is implementing StillSecure Safe Access®, the company’s NAC
solution, and StillSecure Strata Guard®, the company’s network-based
IDS/IPS, as the foundation of CGR’s network security initiative.
Safe Access and Strata Guard will be used to protect the renowned racing
powerhouse’s NASCAR operation in Concord, NC, as well as their IndyCar
operation in Indianapolis, IN and corporate offices in Pittsburgh, PA. In
addition, StillSecure’s solutions will protect Ganassi’s race car
transporters with their own built-in networks, resources, and users.
Prior to selecting StillSecure’s products, CGR was challenged by periodic
network outages that required extensive time and resources to remediate.
Initially, Strata Guard will be used to determine potential security
threats so that the IT team can proactively implement a process for
minimizing downtime. CGR will then roll-out Safe Access using StillSecure’s
best practices, phased approach to NAC methodology. Safe Access will first
be installed in interrogation mode to determine the general health status
of the company’s endpoint devices. After that the company will implement
the additional five phases — including manual remediation, automatic
remediation, manual quarantine, post-connect quarantine (working in
conjunction with Strata Guard), and automatic quarantine — to derive the
maximum value from their NAC system.
“Security is a top initiative in our IT department and StillSecure provides
us peace of mind that we’re minimizing our risk and optimizing our network
for the highest levels of reliability and availability,” said CGR President
Steve Lauletta. “We chose Safe Access and Strata Guard because the
StillSecure bundle is an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand security solution
that our entire IT Team can get its hands around.”
“Companies like Chip Ganassi Racing understand the benefits of integrating
IPS with NAC. They can take advantage of everything from basic intrusion
detection to continuous post-connect monitoring as part of their NAC
process. We look forward to being a ‘driving’ force in Ganassi’s security
efforts,” said Alan Shimel, Chief Strategy Officer at StillSecure.
“Organizations that implement these kinds of technologies in an integrated
manner understand the benefit of a phased implementation approach, which
delivers ROI at every step of the way.”
