ymantec Managed Security Services offer several unique and compelling advantages for clients who choose to outsource some or all of their network security. We monitor security data from our clients’ network. This goes beyond just determining whether certain devices are operational or not; for Symantec it means the continuous collection, correlation, and real-time analysis of the detailed security data generated by all of the devices on your network (whether made by Symantec or a third-party vendor). In our experience, that’s the only way to quickly identify and stop an attack on your enterprise. That’s why it is an integral part of several
Symantec Managed Security Services offerings.
Symantec Monitored and Managed Firewall Services
Monitoring and management of firewall products from Symantec and leading third-party vendors. Continuous real-time analysis of data, as well as comprehensive management of configuration, rule changes, VPN modifications, and system upgrades.

ur Managed Security Services offerings are designed to be as flexible as our clients need them to be. Some organizations want an across-the-board managed solution with monitoring and management of all security activities. Others may outsource only a portion of their security infrastructure or need management and maintenance only of certain security devices. For such “management- only” engagements, our analysts and systems engineers design a solution for each client based on best practices for the devices in question. We then apply management procedures to guarantee each device conforms at all times to the set standards. We have the staff experience and proven processes to make this kind of rigorous third-party management successful, which clearly differentiates Symantec from other Managed Security Service providers.
Symantec Security Policy Compliance Service
Audits all elements of security infrastructure to determine if systems are in compliance with corporate policies and/or industry regulations. Reports identify all areas of vulnerability with prioritized recommendations to bring systems into compliance.
