How does Exaprotect’s unique approach to Information Security Management help you to meet the real-time challenges and opportunities specific to MSSPs?

Complete reporting: Regular audits by external consultants acting on behalf of customers, analysts, and public authorities are now an everyday requirement of enterprise MSSPs and their customers. The driver of regulatory compliance has emphasized the need to thoroughly document network security practices and performance, often creating a demand to produce instant reports. Exaprotect’s security monitoring system (EventManager) and network change configuration product (ChangeManager) offer an extensive range of predefined and user-configurable reporting capabilities to meet every conceivable auditing requirement.

Fast and accurate services: Even if your IT systems force you to wait, your online customers cannot. Minimizing downtime and remediating threats is critical to their business needs and delays caused by slow and outmoded security practices are not tolerated for long. Exaprotect is the only real-time security monitoring and network remediation / policy change management approach designed to help you respond to threats instantly – leaving you free to expand your service offering and satisfy demand.

Minimal downtime plus high availability: No serious player in MSSP can afford substantial service downtime, whether due to network problems or a failure to contain and fix malicious hacking activity, denial of service attacks and other security threats. Defending your customer’s network assets from security risks in real-time mode is now considered essential in some enterprise and government sectors, yet very few suppliers are conscious of just how fast your response needs to be in this market. Exaprotect’s security technologies are designed to deploy rapidly, providing the ultimate in scalability. For instance, EventManager features cascaded server architectures, relay platforms, and agent-based log event collection, filtering and encryption of data transmission, with high-availability options and emergency data spooling capability to meet the network security requirements of the most exacting MSSPs.

Bulletproof data security: MSSP companies have a duty of care to achieve the highest data security standards. Exaprotect’s approach to security event management incorporates a powerful SIEM system that correlates thousands of events per second from across the network – both at the perimeter and internally - and flags up the security alerts that require urgent remediation. ChangeManager is then used to instantly create/change device settings and modify your security policy in direct response to the threat. The changes made are also recorded and annotated for tracking purposes.

Flexibility to cope with demand: Exaprotect’s approach to MSSP pricing is also very flexible, supporting OpEx and CapEx models. Network and security teams are tasked with setting up new infrastructure, VPNs and secure paths in record timescales. Local site conditions may also necessitate the remote collection of security event data, where it is impractical to post trained personnel for long periods of time. Exaprotect’s data gathering and analysis systems can prove an invaluable addition to network security management – achieving substantial cost efficiencies and creating better working conditions.

Compliance with regulations: Customers of MSSPs are under immense pressure to be compliant with a growing number of regulatory regimes whose requirements are document-intensive and time-consuming. Exaprotect’s reports and configuration details can provide important documentation to support this.

MSSPs and their customers are subject to an extensive range of regulatory requirements, which directly impact information security management. Exaprotect has adopted a thorough and flexible approach to supporting network security frameworks, helping you and your customers to achieve and demonstrate compliance by mapping security systems to their chosen controls (CoBIT, ITIL, ISO 27001, etc) and linking these to detailed regulatory requirements.
