A HIGHER LEVELOF SECURITY.CLOUD SECURITYTHE CHALLENGES | THE SOLUTION | THE BENEFITS

Security can be an uphill battle for IT, requiring constant upgrades for ever-changing threats. But with automated updates, Security as a Service makes it easier. We can help you move security to the cloud — so you can TAKE SECURITY ABOVE AND BEYOND.

THE CHALLENGES

LOSS OF CONTROLThe more entry points your network has, the less control you have over them. As data moves to the cloud, you need a security strategy that safeguards all of your devices and is as mobile as the information it protects.

TOO MANY CHOICES Your security options are many, which can make decision-making an overwhelming and difficult task.

STAYING UP TO DATE Evolving software technology requires constant updates, adding even more work for your overburdened IT staff. This is especially important with security software, as it needs to keep up with emerging security threats.

UNEXPECTED COSTS With staff, devices and software always scaling up and down, many organizations are overpaying for unused licenses. Large upfront capital expenditures in security solutions — which may or may not work — can push costs even higher.

MULTIPLE TYPES OF THREATS Trojans. Spyware. Worms. Advanced persistent threats (APTs). The dangers to your data are increasing in type and complexity, and outdated security software isn’t equipped to protect it.

Today’s distributed and mobile computing environment is difficult to control — especially with traditional security measures that drive up costs and weigh down IT’s workload. What’s more, you also have to contend with other obstacles, including:

YOU’RE GROUNDED.

THE SOLUTION

Cloud security is accessed through the Internet so there are no physical software limitations — making it easy to deploy and manage. It’s built for the mobile world to make sure your mobile data, software and applications stay safe and secure.

The cloud model also makes security more affordable because cloud providers are responsible for launching and maintaining security. And the costs are predictable thanks to a monthly subscription.

With services such as web gateway/filtering, endpoint protection and email protection, cloud security offers the same broad approach to protecting your data that traditional security does. Plus, your organization will get additional benefits from the following:

EMAIL ANTI-VIRUS AND SPAM FILTERING Efficient, low-maintenance email security.

WEB GATEWAY/FILTERING Easily integrated, dependable, around-the-clock web security.

ENDPOINT PROTECTION Reliable protection that’s monitored by security professionals.

ABOVE IT ALL.

DECREASED SYSTEM STRESS Instead of installing software, cloud security places a small agent onto your endpoint system. The result is a shield between your network and the dangers that threaten it — which also reduces demands for processing, storage and networking.

AUTOMATED, UP-TO-THE-MINUTE UPDATES With cloud security, upgrades, backup and troubleshooting are all automated. That means your organization always has the latest protection at no extra cost.

FINANCIAL BENEFITS With cloud security, software is easy to deploy and update. Plus, the total cost of ownership is often lower than that of on-premise software because of its simplified scalability and the elimination of hardware and facility costs.

THE BENEFITS

In addition to keeping your data safe, the cloud-based security model offers benefits such as:

BEYOND TRADITIONAL SECURITY.

ENCRYPTION Compliant data security for BYOD at rest or in transit.

IDENTITY MANAGEMENT Centralized SaaS identity management console.
