Each day, there seems to be news about a security threat or data breach that is larger or more sensational than the day before. These stories outline real exposure that threatens your customers’ environment, business & personal reputation, and “bottom line”.
• The threats are dynamic and ever-present. These threats often occur without warning, can be directed at any part of your business, and come from anywhere in the world.
• Damage from malicious parties can range from the theft of confidential & sensitive data to a complete shutdown of your business. The result is not only lost revenue and escalated costs from recovery but only potential liability costs and compliance-related fines.

According to Gartner growth in enterprise demand for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) is driven primarily by four factors:
Security staffing and budget constraints (separated into two categories above) –Successfully defending against security threats require specialized expertise and technology. Meeting the need internally is resource intensive and leveraging outside resources is often prohibitively expensive. In addition, security professionals with the necessary expertise are in high-demand and difficult to find and retain.
Adoption of security technologies and analytic tools to prevent, identify and respond to advanced attacks – As the threats are dynamic and ever-changing, the tools and methods to address threats must evolve at least as quickly.
Increased adoption of cloud-based IT services – Traditional security measures implemented in the Enterprise are typically not sufficient for cloud-based environments.
Evolving compliance reporting requirements – Industry and regulatory mandates vary and provide a level of complexity that organizations may struggle to address over and above security concerns.

MANAGED SECURITY from Rackspace is a security service offering designed to protect customers from advanced cyber threats, such as Advanced Persistent Threats (a network attack in which an unauthorized person gains access to a network and stays there undetected for a long period of time, usually for the primary goal of data theft). This service is backed by a Rackspace 24x7x365 Security Operations Center staffed with security professionals who use tools tailored to the customer, threat profile and environment, leveraging big data analytics to detect unseen threats (zero days) through behavioral and anomaly detection. The value of MANAGED SECURITY can be broken down into four categories:
