The risk and threats that companies face in protecting confidential information is making them look for outside expertise in managing security. Hacking incidents, losing data in transit, storing transaction data in violation of company policy, money laundering — all of these form a witches brew of vulnerabilities that can easily lead to losses in millions of dollars in the form of lawsuits, regulatory actions and reputation damage.
It’s no wonder then that managed-security service providers are stepping forward to relieve corporate information-security officers of the burden of protecting sensitive data. Such providers can eliminate the pitfalls of managing and monitoring security devices and events, and ensure a rapid response to real threats.
