HOUSTON, Sept. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netsurion, a leading provider of remotely-managed network and data security services for multi-location businesses, today launched PROTECT, a sales and support program for its growing network of channel partners.
Retail and franchise brands are seeking more effective protection against hackers that exploit weak security practices to breach networks.

"Being a leader in security is important to every brand's reputation, which is creating tremendous demand for our services," said Chris Melson, president of Netsurion. "Our goal with PROTECT is to enable and elevate our partners through tangible benefits such as dedicated account managers and on-site sales support when needed, to solve the unique security needs of our collective customers in restaurant, grocery, healthcare and financial services businesses."
PROTECT is available immediately to Netsurion's current ecosystem of partners that include Retail Data Systems, DUMAC Business Systems and Apex Digital Solutions, among others.
