September 26, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Teleglobe (teleglobe.com), a global communications company, announced yesterday the formation of a partnership with Ubizen (ubizen.com), an e-security solutions provider, to deploy managed security solutions which
r
complement Teleglobe’s Internet Data Center security features.
r
r
Addressing the growing concern about Internet security, the partnership
r
offers Teleglobe’s hosting customers cost effective multiple layers of
r
security technologies and around-the-clock surveillance by Ubizen’s
r
information security experts, eliminating the need to identify, hire, train
r
and retain their own security experts. Teleglobe’s Managed Security Services
r
include firewall and Virtual Private Network monitoring and management,
r
intrusion detection monitoring, vulnerability scanning and security
r
consulting services. All services, provided 24x7x365 through Teleglobe’s IDC
r
Operations Center, are now also being managed through Ubizen’s three
r
globally dispersed Security Operations Centers in Europe and the United
r
States.
r
r
Under the agreement, Ubizen will also make available to Teleglobe use of its
r
security intelligence lab, which collects, researches and disseminates
r
information on vendor products, viruses and vulnerabilities.
r
r
According to a recent report by Current Analysis, the managed security
r
market is emerging, with an estimated market between $100 and $250 million
r
and an anticipated growth rate of 50% over the coming year. The report rates
r
long-term prospects excellent, citing the increasing number and complexity
r
of mission-critical services provisioned over the Web and the expansion of
r
online strategies beyond the capabilities and capacities of in-house staffs.
r
r
“Companies have significantly raised the bar in terms of security
r
requirements for their e-business partners, and recent privacy legislation
r
has compelled corporations to implement sound information security
r
practices,” said Luis Fiallo, Teleglobe’s vice president of marketing for
r
e-business solutions. “In the world of e-security, Ubizen’s managed security
r
services set the standard, providing solutions with global scale and scope
r
for all of our customers’ needs.”
r
r
Teleglobe’s 2001 data center deployment schedule includes centers in
r
Washington, D.C., Miami and Montreal. These centers will offer customers
r
dedicated, managed and application hosting as well as co-location services.
r
In addition to Ubizen, the company has announced other world class partners,
r
including Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Cisco, EMC, Inktomi, Nortel and Sun
r
Microsystems.
