 Here is what you need to know if you represent the in-house security department of your company.

 What Are Managed Security Services?

Why Should My Organization Rely On These Services?

 The in-house security is often pressurized to take care of security breeches and maintenance.  With the help of a service provider they can get training in monitoring and assistance in core security areas to protect sensitive data. The managed security services compliment the in-house department in many ways like:

 Reduction of capital expenditure of specific training programs for in house personnel.

Are There Any Other Additional Benefits To Look Forward To?

 The last thing any business owner wants is continuous reference to security when he has done the digital transformation. Without being intrusive, the services can be used from a remote premise and does not impact on the business being conducted online. The services have a friendly user interface for communications and seamless reporting.  The key here is security governance and not admin work that the in-house people can do. For example, if a specific security program needs to be created, the managed security services provider can handle it. It may have to handle a specific threat to the data being shared or communicated.

 Will Compliance Initiatives Be A Part Of This Exercise?

 In several organizations the pressure is on the IT department to manage systems, turn to hybrid models or migrate to other servers or cloud computing. All these take time. They have to research, do experiments, configure, install, and check that it is working due to the use of sophisticated devices in operation, the threat perspective is real and round the corner. This is likely to create bottlenecks where they need a helping hand. With regards to compliances and issues mentioned earlier there is a need for well oiled services.  They can release the bottlenecks by:

 Full scaled security apparatus.

2.    Provide a layer of additional expertise to bridge the gap between the IT department and the provider.

3.    A 3rd party service provider works with other clients. He gets experience to handle disruptive processes.

4.    Multiple customers make them aware of visible threats and help to provide a product that is better responsive to attack.

5.    They will be more proactive as they know compliances have to be adhered to.

6.    They help companies to become security mature as they step into the field.

 This is just the tip of the iceberg on the responsibilities of a potential service provider. They are able to do aggressive risk analysis and take care of security breach too. Unaware that there are deficiencies in the systems, many companies wake up only when the damage is done. Just as a stitch in time saves nine, deploying timely managed security services is the need of the hour.
