Description
Companies are at high risk for security violations from many directions. Employees, partners, customers, viruses, worms, hackers, telecommuters, wireless connections: they all pose risks to the corporate network. A high degree of security expertise is needed to protect companies from the many risks in the wild. This need is leading to a movement toward outsourcing security. Companies lacking the internal security expertise to secure and manage intrusions are in demand for security services companies which can provide a high degree of security at a cost that companies can afford. Companies are in need of services to assist with: Managing firewall, VPN, and IDS equipment; Consulting services to assess business risks, design and set-up a secure network, and create security policies; Monitoring network activity through one-time assessments and day-to-day monitoring services.

This report details the services offered by managed security service providers, and includes forecasts segmented by type of service, geography, sales channel, size of business, and vertical industry.
