| | November - 2019ENTERPRISE SECURITY6The prevailing digital transformation era has given birth to a set of new internet-born threats. With enterprises increasingly reliant on the public internet, social media, cloud and SaaS-based applications to perform critical business functions, they are coming into contact with cybersecurity threats they weren't previously exposed to. As new threats emerge, enterprises can no longer leverage managed security services (MSS) that provide just protection from DDOS attacks, email viruses, and firewalls. Since enterprises are leveraging the cloud and other public networks, they require real-time advanced threat monitoring, retroactive log management, predictive intelligence to anticipate threats, and instant incident-response services. Also, since enterprises are gradually shifting towards digital practices and the cloud, an MSS provider needs expertise in developing integrated solutions. For example, they need to have the capability to integrate their MSS platform/solution with a client's risk management software and internal applications that could be both on-premise or cloud-based. While the integration aspect, post-attack support, and emergency incident response comprise of an MSS provider's on-site consulting services, other categories include managed security monitoring, compliance monitoring, and perimeter management of the client's network--firewall management and detecting threats for software & hardware. Another critical function of an MSS provider is penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, which could include the scanning of applications and attempting to hack an application so that vulnerabilities can be discovered. By doing so, an MSS provider can anticipate an impending threat before they happen! To choose the appropriate MSS provider for their particular business is a complex task in itself. The MSS market has been segmented on the basis of organization size, service type, end-user, and deployment strategy. Typically, MSS providers that focus on SMBs vary from those that cater specifically to large enterprises. On the services front, the MSS industry is divided into IPS and IDS, DDOS, unified threat management, endpoint security, and SIEM and firewall management. Meanwhile, the MSS sector has also diversified as per the deployment method: cloud, on-premise, and hybrid. And lastly, based on the end-user, the MSS market is segmented into retail, manufacturing, BSFI, IT/ITES, aerospace and defense, healthcare, and government.In browsing through this listing, your business can identify an MSS provider most suitable for your specific operations.Anticipate Threats before They InfiltrateEditorialRussell Thomas Managing Editor editor@enterprisesecuritymag.comNOVEMBER - 22 - 2019, Volume 05 - 21 Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
