Data Edge to enrich cybersecurity portfolio with launch of CyberScope in Ireland

Data Edge, Ireland’s most experienced network optimisation and application performance management specialist, has announced it is growing its cybersecurity offering with the exclusive addition of NetAlly’s CyberScope, the world’s first handheld network vulnerability tester and scanner. Data Edge, a NetAlly partner since 2023, is the only vendor in Ireland currently offering access to CyberScope.

Headquartered in the US, NetAlly is a global leader in portable network testing and its CyberScope tool provides comprehensive site security assessments, allowing for full visibility and enabling companies to identify, locate, and assess vulnerabilities in their network. The tool is able to identify every wired/wireless device on a site’s network, determine where it is connected, and ascertain whether or not it is a threat.

CyberScope, which consolidates the tasks of numerous devices, replaces the need for laptops and tablets for testing and also has remote access capabilities, allowing for scanning and testing when off-site.

In another exclusive offering to the Irish market, Data Edge has also added NetAlly’s network connectivity testing hardware LinkRunner to its product portfolio. The latest editions of the product, the AT 3000 & AT 4000, are high performance devices capable of identifying issues in less than 10 seconds. The hardware runs essential tests which enable the quick and accurate identification and solution of network connectivity problems in both copper and fibre Ethernet networks.

Omer Mukhtar, Cybersecurity Specialist, Data Edge, said: “Having a robust cyber defence is of the utmost importance these days and adding a groundbreaking product like CyberScope to our portfolio was an absolute no-brainer. A handheld purpose-built vulnerability assessment tool is exactly the type of innovative product businesses need to protect themselves in the modern digital era. We’re excited about the opportunity to continue partnering with NetAlly to bring its state-of-the-art products to the Irish market.”

Luke Boniface, EMEA Channel Account Manager, NetAlly, said: “In today’s hyper-connected world, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. As we move further toward digital transformation, vulnerabilities at the network edge are becoming more prominent, putting organisations at risk. We’d like to thank Data Edge for their commitment and thought leadership at solving challenges organisations face in securing edge infrastructure and the potential gaps in cybersecurity tools that could leave networks exposed. From vulnerability management to endpoint monitoring, we break down the key areas you need to address to protect your most valuable assets.”
