Equant has expanded its security services portfolio with the launch of its managed intrusion detection service. Equant Intrusion Detection, available worldwide, monitors all network segment traffic flows, enabling the customer to capture and react to intrusions by external hackers and those from inside corporate networks. It detects in near real-time malicious activity that is targeted at customer networks, devices, appliances, servers and operating systems. In addition, it filters false alarms that could divert valuable corporate resources.
The new services deploy Cisco Systems intrusion detection sensors. Ubizen, another leader in the security event monitoring field, provides highly trained and certified security specialists who monitor network traffic flows in their state-of-the-art Security Operations Centers worldwide and respond to alarms in real-time, with a turn-around time guaranteed by service level agreements.
Equant's service is one of the few available today that incorporates intelligent response from security analysts based in Security Operations Centers, rather than automated responses from a Network Operations Center. Equant's Security Operations Centers are fully secure against trespass and physical external attack of the highest magnitude.
By out-tasking intrusion detection to Equant, multinational companies can significantly reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO) in comparison to services installed and managed in-house. Over a three-year period, for instance, the TCO of a typical four-site, in-house intrusion detection service could be two to three times as expensive as Equant's service, based on identical equipment. Major cost savings come from a variety of factors that significantly include not having to train and maintain a workforce to monitor the security equipment and alarms and alerts around the clock. These cost savings multiply as the number of sites increases.
Key features of Equant Intrusion Detection include:
- Real-time traffic-flow monitoring.
- Real-time incident handling and intervention advice.
- Global 24 x 7 service management and support.
- Defined Service Level Agreements.
- Monthly on-line report delivery.
- Device management, including regular signature and software updates.
- Attack session recording and correlation of alerts.
- Wide range of attack pattern recognition.
"Increased emphasis on corporate governance is driving many enterprises to focus on the protection of corporate assets, while competitive pressure and delivering value to shareholders continues to drive the reduction of total cost of ownership," said John Sherwood of Sherwood Associates, an analyst firm specializing in network security. "It is not enough to simply 'test and patch' your systems, because there are new intrusion exploits emerging all the time. Equant's new managed Intrusion Detection service offers these enterprise customers an important new option for covering unwanted intrusions, a key part of their network security and business continuity equation."
