Managed Security Services have shown to be increasingly necessary in companies that are constantly updating and transforming. Know more details!
Based in the acceleration of the Digital Transformation and facing the post-pandemic scenario of covid-19, there's much talk about the importance of assuring the protection of corporate data, through advanced and intelligent solutions.
Based in the considerable increase in virtual threats, mainly after the implementation of the hybrid workplace model, businesses are feeling the need to optimize their processes and to fill gaps in order to more effectively resist virtual attacks.
Organizations need to be more vigilant and agile in order to operate in an environment subject to increasing threats. Therefore, it has become clear businesses need a unified IT architecture, which includes services more and more adequate to their requirements.
According to a research conducted by Omdia,31% of responders agree and believe that security monitoring related to corporate data will remain one of the fundamental aspects their customers will be looking at until late 2023.
Therefore, organizations are looking for solutions that focus on SD-WAN and SASE, since they have the purpose of accessing and protecting, more securely, their data, applications and corporate tools.
As a result, many businesses have decided to outsource their security structures by adopting the Managed Security Services (MSS) model.
This way, the Managed Security Services can be excellent allies. See more details:
What are Managed Security Services?
The concept of MSS is directly tied to a model of operational processes, specifically created to protect corporate data from prospective cybernetic attacks.
This way, the pillars that support the managed security services are: security monitoring, incident response and security management. In addition, they also grant data security ongoing protection and attention, in a more exclusive manner.
Among its main benefits, are:
• Excellent cost-efficiency;
• Expertise;
• Specialized professionals;
• Better tool management;
• Constant supervision.
Which managed security services can be ideal in order to cover your customers’ needs?
When we talk about managed security services, we mean solutions that are advanced, comprehensive and full of exceptional benefits, such as SASE and SD-WAN, for example.
The study conducted by Omdia also points out that about 52% of the corporate responders maintained that SD-WAN and SASE were either already a reality in their businesses or were being planned to be implemented soon.
Besides, at least 44% of responders believe technologies such as SD-WAN and SASE will help reduce the overall use of managed security services.
Consequently, SD-WAN solution providers and other cloud delivered security vendors are attaining massive growth in their businesses.

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge)
SASE is a technology specifically built in order to optimize the quality of technological innovations, providing an intelligent and dynamic structure.
Using such a structure, corporations are able to access information and devices connected to the cloud, with more ease and simplicity.
Along these lines, we can contextualize that SASE is a service border, responsible for protecting the connection, built on the resource access permission, independently from localization, moment of request and network locale.
All this means SASE has the capacity of transforming the entire security network in a single cloud solution, covering the diverse needs brought by the Digital Transformation, with more efficiency, protection and speed.
-
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network)
SD-WAN, on the other hand, is a software defined approach to WAN management.
This means SD-WAN is regarded as a prospective virtualization of the WAN network, able to connect environments that are distant from each other, assuring more agility for tasks and reducing corporate cost.
On the whole, SD-WAN is a technology that aims to streamline the network, optimizing application performance online and throughout the hybrid WAN. Therefore, it provides a more consistent and distributed connectivity.
Besides these factors, it can also improve usage performance, optimize user experience, bring more efficiency to a software as a service (SaaS) and help many other public cloud applications.
As a whole, the cloud has increasingly become the center of the Digital Transformation, delivering meaningful parts of the infrastructure, critical applications and corporate data, supporting solutions that can be implemented anywhere and scaled almost infinitely.
Therefore, managed security services bring with them the a unique opportunity to weave the native security of the cloud, providing better management for devices, applications, data and more.
It is of essence to educate customers regarding the need to invest in intelligent security measures, such as SASE, SD-WAN and others critical resources to control and monitor cloud security.
