Verizon Business is claiming to be the leading provider of
managed security services to business and government customers
worldwide with the completion of its previously announced
acquisition of Cybertrust.
The telecoms giant says that it can now boast ‘unmatched’
capabilities and global reach, including a combined security
services staff deployed throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle
East and the Asia-Pacific region.
Effective immediately, Verizon Business customers can access an
integrated portfolio of security offerings. The solutions suite
delivers end-to-end, multilayered security protection from the
customer’s premises to a global IP network.
It includes professional services comprised of governance, risk and
compliance analysis, application assessments, and forensics and
incident response services; professional services consultants
located around the world; a suite of premise and network-based
managed security services, consisting of denial of service, managed
email, managed devices and managed intrusion protection and
detection systems; identity and access management; threat and
vulnerability management; partner security programs; security
certification programs.
Customers also have access to a range of management options, from
fully outsourcing all functions, to management of services or
hosting of certain equipment, to the customer doing it on a
self-serve basis and calling upon the telecoms supplier as and when
needed.
