ScanAlert, the leading provider of website security verification technology, today announced an agreement with Vortech Hosting to make its real-time security verification service available to Vortech Hosting customers. Enhancing Vortech's' existing web hosting services, ScanAlert will allow their customers to maintain heightened security against hackers, as well as verifying their security to website visitors.

As part of the suite of hosting services developed by Vortech Hosting to address the needs of its small to mid-size corporate customers, this new security solution will provide a very cost-effective way to protect websites from the constant exposure to hacker break-ins and malicious service disruptions. In addition, the service will also provide daily independent third-party security verification of Vortech hosted sites.

"Verified Secure Web Hosting is an exciting new service that will bring real benefits to our customers." Said Brad Pugh, President. of Vortech Hosting, Inc. "Security concerns and the protection of customer data from hackers remains the number-one issue slowing the growth of online business. Security verification will allow our customers to build trust with their online customers and business partners."

Pugh continued: "Vortech is focused on providing the security services our customers need to be successful on today's high risk - high reward Internet. Adding the benefits of third-party verification to daily security testing gives Vortech customers a substantial competitive advantage."

"Customers are demanding that companies verify their Web security - And that they take steps to maintain it at all times." Said David Currie, CEO and co-founder of ScanAlert. "In fact, a recent Harris InteractiveŽ survey shows that nine out of ten people would do more business with websites providing third-party verification of their security."

Currie added: "When a Vortech hosted site makes our third-party verification available directly to its customers and business partners, the result is a dramatic increase in transaction confidence. Everyone benefits. We are looking forward to working with Vortech to make this groundbreaking security technology available to their customers worldwide."
