Re: How to choose an IDS/FW MSS provider

In-Reply-To: <42394B67.9010700@no-log.org>

Most often the world-wide coverage of MSS services can also be provided by a 
smaller MSS provider. That?s the nice thing about remote management and 
monitoring. When we talk about ?local? we mean local to the customer?s primary 
contact and site. Most customers these scales have some form of central 
information security management and IT department. The SOC must have at least 
good direct contacts to their main counterparts in the company. The trouble is 
often that a good overview, details on networks and systems can not be provided 
by customers. They simply don?t have them; they are out-dated and so on. They 
will certainly always forget to inform the SOC timely of changes.

Combining managed vulnerability scanning with managed security monitoring is 
always a pre. Not only for large multi-nationals.
