WHY CONSIDER MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES?
Safeguarding security systems and critical information assets is becoming increasingly difficult as hackers continue to exploit more innovative ways to access sensitive information. Combating unauthorized intrusion requires constant vigilance, which many companies cannot accommodate.

Forming a partnership with a Managed Security Services provider allows you to share your business risk by putting the onus of intrusion monitoring, management of security devices, and incident handling on a team dedicated to detecting threats against your systems. Reputable managed security experts are always up to date on new vulnerabilities and countermeasures, and work full-time to protect your critical business systems.

Managed Security Services help companies:

Strengthen Security Posture - Contracting for device monitoring and intrusion prevention and detection services can be far superior to in-house efforts that might not have dedicated resources. You can rely on 24x7x365 protection whereas most company IT departments only operate within normal business hours. Many companies put off fortifying their security in lieu of other activities that are strategic to the business. By engaging with a Managed Security Services provider, you can feel confident your security infrastructure and critical information assets are being monitored real-time, 24x7 and backed by a security analyst team ready to respond to any event.

Improve Compliance - Data security and integrity of confidential data places much of the burden for regulatory adherence on IT departments. IT staffs that lack the necessary personnel, tools and training may have difficulty meeting their expanding regulatory requirements. Managed service providers

can add tremendous value by easing the substantial reporting challenges of regulatory compliance imposed by GLBA, SOX, HIPAA, PCI and others. They can help track information, manage logs and create timely, accurate reports for auditing and assessments. This enables IT departments to focus on their customers, products and overall mission while ensuring compliance is being met.

Lower Operational Costs - Transferring responsibility of your information security to a managed services provider is typically a fraction of the cost it would take to equip and manage the same capabilities in-house. Leveraging investments in technology, scalable processes and expertise make managed services a cost-effective option to securing your computing infrastructure.

It is important that the managed security service you choose is flexible and can support your specific requirements. A variety of options should be available by the provider and scalable to fit within your operations.
