MSSP/DDoS Deployments [185]: RedSpam[UK] Expands its Managed Service with Arbor's CPE

 
Along the rising trend of cloud based security services (see "[Infonetics]: Cloud-Based Security to Grow by 83% by 2016" - here), Arbor Networks announced that UK-Based MSSP, RedSpam, extends its DDoS protection services to include also a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) adding protection against "low and slow" application-layer attacks on enterprises' data centers.

 ".. RedSpam has selected Arbor's Pravail Availability Protection System (APS) for its new distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) managed service offering .. This exciting initiative builds upon the existing relationship between the two organizations, which sees the MSSP utilize Arbor Network's Peakflow® SP for cloud-based DDoS mitigation for protection against volumetric DDoS attacks"
 
"Arbor's technology, coupled with RedSpam's fixed pricing model -- based on each user's traffic profile and a pay-as-you-grow approach -- makes it a compelling service for companies who want to protect themselves from DDoS attacks that are causing damage to so many brands in the market today. Furthermore, the on-premise design eliminates the need for specialist expertise and further investment in hardware purchases".

[F&S]: MSSP Market to Reach $15.6B in 2016

A new research by Martha Vazquez (pictured), Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan concludes that "Enterprises are becoming increasingly exposed to organized cyber crime rings and for many businesses, the complexity of threats have compelled them to turn to managed security service providers (MSSPs). These types of external service providers enable organizations to maintain strong security while improving business efficiencies and minimizing costs".

"Although there are many benefits, MSSP vendors are typically challenged when trying to demonstrate the possible savings accrued through working with a trusted MSSP. MSSPs have to educate end users about the advantages of outsourcing security. In response to the escalating demand for broader platform support and more flexibility, MSSPs should also provide a wide range of new security technologies and enhanced security portfolios"

"..Analysis from Frost & Sullivan , Analysis of the Global Managed Security Service Providers Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $6.66 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach $15.63 billion in 2016 .. The Frost & Sullivan study covers local, regional and global MSSPs such as Nuspire, IBM, Verizon, Dell Secureworks, Solutionary, BT Global Services, Deutche Telecom, MegaPath, and Windstream (formerly PAETEC)”.
