10 Reasons to Outsource MSS

1. Device management and monitoring can be mundane and tedious.

Expertise is expensive to find and difficult to maintain. Outsourcing Managed Security Services (MSS) tasks relieves your talented staff of the day-to-day grind. Learn more about VeriSign® Managed Security Services.

2. The best in-house information misses the big picture.

Your analysts only see their own data. VeriSign correlates data from thousands of devices and the Internet infrastructure to map trends, anomalies, and better identify security threats with threat data gathered from researchers in over 30 countries and 12 languages. Learn more about VeriSign Security Intelligence.

3. Threats don’t go on vacation or take holidays.

Global, fully-staffed Security Operations Centers (SOCs) mean highly trained security professionals are monitoring your infrastructure. Learn more about VeriSign Security Operations Centers.

4. Information security is patchy and contradictory, a moving target.

Understanding the impact of evolving threats and the changes required to protect against them has become increasing difficult. Enterprises need help making better decisions to reduce cost and complexity and more effectively manage their risk. Learn more about VeriSign® Security Risk Profiling Service.

5. Security tools come in a box; security solutions don’t.

Even the best security tools require people to configure, monitor and manage them. A security solution begins with highly trained people using best-of-breed tools for security prevention, detection and response to help ensure malicious traffic is blocked without blocking benign traffic.

6. Your operational costs may escalate with each new security initiative.

Outsourcing managed security services to a vendor-neutral provider lowers operating costs for recruiting, training and retaining staff for 24/7 security organizations.  Learn more about VeriSign Managed Security Services.
