Today’s Internet security threats range from curious prowlers to savvy intruders, simple mischief to espionage.
Without a plan to help protect your entire network and its connection points, your defense is only as strong as its weakest link. Managed Security Services adds a powerful protective layer, helping you to maintain the security of your organizations network as you access the Internet. This helps you take full advantage of the Internet as a means of enhancing your existing business relationships with your customers and suppliers.
Managed security services (MSS) is a systematic approach to managing an organization’s security needs. The services may be conducted in house or outsourced to a service provider that oversees other companies’ network and information system security. Functions of a managed security service include round-the-clock monitoring and management of intrusion detection systems and firewalls, overseeing patch management and upgrades, performing security assessments and security audits, and responding to emergencies. There are products available from a number of vendors to help organize and guide the procedures involved. This diverts the burden of performing the chores manually, which can be considerable, away from administrators.
