WHAT IS MANAGED SECURITY?
Managed network security is the outsourcing of computer security services to a third party. This can be as simple as the configuration, installation and on-going monitoring and maintenance of a single firewall, or as complex as a completely managed solution involving the placement of network security specialists at the customer premises.

WHY DO I NEED MANAGED SECURITY?

• Instances of DOS attacks grew by 680% in 2005
• Phishing e-mails increased by 100% in 2005
• Vulnerabilities exposed in web application technologies increased by 109% in 2005

The need for network security is all too self-evident yet in-house network security can be time-consuming, costly and requires considerable knowledge and expertise. Managed Security Services relieve organisations of these concerns, leaving them free to concentrate on their core business,

safe in the knowledge that their network is in professional and experienced hands.
