Case Study: Managed Security Services for a leading BPO
Requirements
|
To ensure seamless operations, and to maximize performance and availability, Medusind needed to ensure that their infrastructure was protected from unauthorized access, and complied with the stringent standards and compliance mechanisms for BPO companies. Confidentiality of data was also a prime concern, in addition to ensuring that the TCO of outsourcing Managed Security Services was less than it would be if it were done using in-house resources and infrastructure.

Service Offering
Providing Managed Security services proved to be a dual challenge. One challenge included protection against malicious and compromising attempts, while another involved ensuring complete confidentiality of all sensitive information.
Said Sharad Sanghi, CEO NetMagic Solutions "The client knew that there was a need for Managed Security on a 24x7 basis, and decided to leverage the resources and expertise of a suitable service provider, rather than do it internally. We could prove to them that outsourcing the requirement to NetMagic would ensure and end-to-end solution, and also ensure that their most sensitive data would be completely uncompromised at all times. When they learnt that the total cost of ownership involved would be considerably less than implementing a comparable in-house solution, they were convinced."
NetMagic's Managed Security Services works in conjunction with Advanced Monitoring services. The 24x7 NOC continuously monitors Medusind's servers and network infrastructure, identifying possible threats, and working to obstruct any unauthorized access to the company's network.
