Getting and staying ahead of the ‘vulnerability curve’ is a challenge faced by many organizations. At the same time, business processes require organizations to provide access to mobile employees, partners, suppliers and customers. For a company to effectively and securely share critical information with remote users, it takes more than a firewall. A firewall establishes a strong perimeter security, however, it is configured to allow certain applications to pass through.

Attackers are constantly evolving their network subversion methods to take advantage of these application vulnerabilities to compromise the services allowed through the firewall. The bar has been raised and simply adding the latest security hardware and software is no longer enough. Through our Managed Security Services portfolio, Internap offers Managed Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)/Intrusion Detection System (IDS) service, where you receive a proactive and powerful network surveillance system that is configured, managed and updated on a regular basis by security experts.
