Re: How to choose an IDS/FW MSS provider

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.
