The Co-Mangaged IT security service model entails monitoring, incident response, engineering, and content development across an organization’s entire security environment. Co-Management allows organizations to work with their service providers; working to meet shared goals, results, ROI, and enhance security posture.
Co-Managed services also allow for organizations’ critical data and tools to be remotely managed by a team of certified engineers, analysts, and content developers from a 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC). This service approach allows for customer data to remain in house, a more secure approach than traditional MSSPs. The service provider’s staff work in conjunction with customer security teams to outline the rules of engagement inside the environment to provide monitoring and respond to alerts in real-time. The Security Operation Center also provide the “care and feeding”, and development of a variety of security solutions. The co-managed approach also allows organizations to focus on emerging internal projects and other critical areas of security.
SIEM, IDS/IPS, Compliance Automation and Assurance, Network Configuration Management Tools, Advanced Threat Intelligence, Network Access Control, End Point Management, Application Security, File Integrity Monitoring, Forensic Investigation, and Vulnerability Scanning and Management, are all examples of cyber security solutions that co-managed service providers support.
