Calgary network provider Axia NetMedia Corp. says its new managed security service, AxiaSecure, essentially transforms the company’s security operations centre and team of security professionals into extensions of customers’ IT organizations. Announced last month, AxiaSecure provides network perimeter protection based on hardware from Cisco Systems Inc. and Fortinet Inc. According to a press release, this is the first Axia product to come from the firm’s experience protecting SuperNet, Alberta’s broadband backbone.
