Managed cloud security solutions

Overview

What is managed cloud security?

Secure every connection while cutting cost and complexity.

Today’s agile working means your traditional security perimeter is no longer a fixed boundary, which means you may now have critical security gaps in your infrastructure. From branch locations to remote employees, the number of potential weak points has grown significantly – and it’s these weak points that hackers are likely to exploit.  

To stay protected in this new threat environment you need a consistent, cloud-based security setup that removes the hassle of buying and maintaining hardware, and plugs security gaps to protect all your users, from any location.

Our managed cloud security offering combines leading security solutions with managed services and consulting to do just that, partnering with world-class vendors - like Zscaler, Cisco, Palo Alto and McAfee - for cutting-edge solutions that use the latest technology.

Our managed cloud solution is a cloud-based internet security approach that helps improve your overall security posture. It adds an extra layer of defence-in-depth for those users and systems that are already secured and extends the security perimeter for those users who are outside and unprotected.

Managed Cloud Security

With the perimeter disappearing, you need to step up your security to handle the ever-advancing attacks.

What is Managed Cloud Security?

Managed Cloud Security offers cloud-based internet security platforms that provide services, such as real-time scanning and filtering of your users’ web traffic to proactively block known threats before they enter your network.

We have a range of services which include secure web gateway, Domain Name system (DNS) security, data loss prevention for endpoint, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and firewall in the cloud. None of these require on-premises hardware, appliances, or software.

• world-class graded managed service to offer you the flexibility you need
• a single central portal where you can easily manage internet policies and reporting for all global users and sites

• proxy-based visibility and control over web traffic with deep awareness of cloud activity and data interactions (in transit)
• the ability to monitor and secure cloud service usage by employees, to quickly identify and remediate threats
• comprehensive data protection at all endpoints

What is Cloud Security Consulting?
