The Case for Managed Security Services
The case for managed security services is being made every day. Given the uncertain state of the economy, many companies are looking to security as a service to drive down costs and boost return on investment of security IT. 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. Managed security services may also help prevent spammers or Internet criminal organizations from compromising a company's desktops and servers, says Simmonds, in this IT Link podcast.
