At Network Box the emphasis is on taking away the mundane work of security so that companies can become more proactive and plan their business from a technological standpoint.
Network Box assists by allowing the IT manager to delegate the configuration and day to day maintenance to Network Box engineers whilst providing advice and expertise to enable the company get the best return on its investment both in Network Box and its IT staff.
Reviewing your Internet Security
There are two fundamental choices to make when reviewing your internet security:
- Do you choose to consolidate?
- Do you choose a managed service?
Phase 1: Consolidation versus Legacy Systems
| Consolidation | Legacy | |
| Value | Consolidation can deliver significant savings | If you maintain legacy products then you are more likely to patch your security |
| Service Levels | One SLA under contract will give you peace of mind | Need to manage multiple support agreements |
| Skills and Training | Required for one product | Required for multiple products |
| Licences | Single licence | Multiple licences for multiple products |
| Management controls | Centralised on single console | Spread across multiple platforms and interfaces |
Phase 2: Managed Service versus Self-managed Product
| Managed Service | Self-managed Product | |
| Control | Hosted | Localised |
| Change control | Provided by MSSP | Limited by product, time and skilss |
| Service levels | Tailored to customer needs | In-house limitations |
| Security level | Choice of security provision | Limited to products and skills |
| Time | Delegate the issues to the managed service provider | Consumes considerable time, especially when skills are limited |
| Updates | One update for all services | Separate updates for each product |
| Management | From a single console | From separate consoles |
| Knowledge of threats/risk | Constantly refreshed and proactively applied | Reactive |
Result
From this exercise you will see that the value of consolidation and a managed service are the key business drivers of change in the Internet security space. Whether you choose to switch your security to Network Box or any other vendor that provides consolidation of the Internet security components, you can be reassured that this will deliver measurable financial, time and management benefits.
