As more and more critical applications and services move to the cloud, organizations are increasingly receptive to the idea of using a managed security service to protect their network and information assets. The number and types of external threats to a network are growing exponentially, and unless a company has a dedicated and highly specialized team devoted to network security, it’s hard to keep up with the rapidly changing threat landscape. After all, the threats of the Internet are the same for every company regardless of its size.

There are many benefits for small or midsize companies or even branch offices of large companies that use a managed security service. First of all, it’s a great way to get the security expertise that would be too expensive to hire and retain in-house. The same goes for technology. A small company might not be able to afford to buy the best technology, but it can rent the use of the technology from a service provider. Moreover, the company can get a broader range of solutions that otherwise might not be in the budget — solutions such as intrusion detection and prevention (IDP/IDS), antivirus and antispam, content filtering, encrypted email and secure VPNs.

Further, the ever-changing regulatory requirements associated with Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, and various state data breach notification laws, has significantly complicated many organizations’ ability to effectively manage their risk.  Whether they need to meet regulatory requirements or to maximize the risk reduction impact of their spending on security.
