The case for managed security services is being made every day.

In addition, according to Paul Simmonds of the Jericho Forum, and former chief information security officer at chemical manufacturer ICI, most IT managers don't have the time or the staff, and users don't exercise enough responsibility, to make managing security in-house an efficient and safe option.
