Security services seem to be catching up to business customer security requirements. Offloading security services under a managed umbrella from a large service provider such as Verizon for small and medium businesses is probably a very viable service. Large businesses probably have sufficient internal IT resources to deal with security threats, but this is very different for smaller businesses. Small businesses need to deal with the same threats as much larger corporations but without the financial resources or IT capabilities. The cybersecurity threats could be ignored, with the appropriate amount of risk to business operations.
Verizon Taps McAfee for SMB Security
Verizon Business is teaming up with McAfee Inc. (NYSE: MFE) to offer mid-sized businesses a managed security service that makes it easier for them to stay up-to-date on potential network threats.
The suite of security services protects against five basic types of security threats faced by companies with between 20 and 1,000 employees: network, endpoint, Web, data, and email. The new services come in two flavors: McAfee Total Protection Service -- Advanced, which is hosted within the McAfee Software-as-a-Service infrastructure and doesn't require investment in hardware; and McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business, which provides software that a business can download on its own servers.
