Nessar and Viettel IDC on Friday jointly signed a strategic cooperation agreement with FireMon, the world's leading provider of Security Policy Management Solutions, aimed at providing effective security policy management solutions for customers in Viet Nam.

Nessar and Viettel IDC will integrate FireMon's solution into their product and service portfolio to provide network device and firewall policy management solutions for organisations and enterprises.

The solution will make customers' IT systems more reliable, secure, and scalable, increase system control levels to ensure compliance with information security standards, and reduce general risk due to previously unknown factors.

“Currently, organisations often rely on a combination of manual procedures and various tools to manage adding, replacing, and deleting security policies and rules in the security system. This leads to labour-intensive and highly ineffective security system operations, unnecessary complexity, increased risk of misconfiguration, and creates many vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit," said Nguyen Thac Nam, CEO of Nessar Vietnam.

“With FireMon's solution, we believe that our customers will be able to solve these problems, minimise risks, and improve the security of their systems,” he added.

“The collaboration with FireMon and Nessar aims to enhance and diversify Viettel IDC's cybersecurity solutions and its in-house solutions," said Le Xuan Que, Deputy Director of Viettel IDC. "With this cooperation, we believe that customers in Viet Nam will benefit from breakthrough network security solutions that not only optimise management but also effectively monitor and protect their network systems."

FireMon's solutions help reduce 80 per cent of security policy misconfiguration issues, optimise system operation with 90 per cent automation in policy creation, and decrease 40 per cent of system complexity by eliminating unnecessary policies.

With these outstanding capabilities, customers can operate their systems with high efficiency, safety, and cost optimisation.

“With Nessar and Viettel IDC's experience in information technology and network security solutions, we believe that this collaboration will deliver amazing values to our customers, considerably boosting our capacity to safeguard customers' networks and data in Viet Nam,” said Shikwang (SK) Jang, Firemon’s Asia-Pacific Vice President.

FireMon's solution has been trusted and used by thousands of renowned organisations worldwide, including major customers such as Tesla, Southwest Airlines, US Air Force, FedEx, eBay, Coca-Cola, IBM, Deloitte, Amazon, Nestle, KB Financial Group, Korea Credit Bureau, Shinhan Bank. — VNS
