Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) July 25, 2007 -- Companies wishing to automate their port and network monitoring and generate daily security scanning audit reports for compliance purposes will benefit from the new on-line security service provided by ioBeacon. The automated security system remove the burden of manual network monitoring and scans thus freeing IT administration resources for other duties.

ioBeacon is designed to automate the mundane daily task of scanning and checking external IP addresses for changes in port condition. The on-line service performs a daily scan of a client's IP address and compares the results against a table of expected values. If the network monitoring service finds any discrepancies between the scanned and the expected conditions be found, the client is alerted via email.

ioBeacon provides the option to generate a printable audit report based upon results of the current scan. A printable discrepancy report and a log history are also available.
   
"ioBeacon's niche is in ensuring security best-practices are followed by automating the mundane task of daily network scans and results comparisons," says Surgite Ventures' President, Scott A. Eden.

With ioBeacon you can now say it's scanned daily by a third party."
