What’s
it all about?
Recent
years have seen tremendous growth
in outsourcing all aspects of IT,
creating a burgeoning market for managed
services. Companies seeking to outsource
typically expect providers offering
managed services to supply the whole
enchilada, from consultation and planning
to hardware, software, administration,
monitoring, and help-desk support.
Customers can thus leverage a service
provider's infrastructure and expertise
to sidestep the relentless capital
investment needed to keep pace with
technology.
When
aspects of enterprise security are
outsourced to an provider — which
is happening more and more—we've got
a managed security service. There
are several types of managed security
services: managed VPN services, managed
firewall services, even managed secure
application or webhosting services.
Nearly
all such managed security services
share a distinguishing characteristic:
Hardware and software—even on a customer's
premises—are supplied and managed
by the provider. A few providers allow
hardware to be comanaged by the customer.
Most providers also include pre-sales
consultation to assess security risk
and vulnerability, security policy
configuration, 24x7 NOC support, some
form of realtime, proactive service-level
monitoring, accounting, and reporting.
Why
managed?
Network
security is a specialised field, and
you can't afford to make do with anything
less than best industry practice.
Make your security lax and you risk
breaches. Make it too restrictive
and you won't be able to implement
the systems your business needs. The
answer to effective firewall implementation
is partnership with specialists who
eat, sleep and breathe security systems.
Businesses
that fail to meet the Internet challenge
will soon not exist at all. That's
true not just for businesses trading
on the Web but for every major business:
savings and service levels are too
significant to ignore. Whether you're
communicating with customers or participating
in e-enabled vertical markets, the
Internet holds the key.
