May 7, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Digital trust services provider VeriSign Inc. (VeriSign.com) announced on Tuesday that it has expanded its portfolio of managed security services in an effort to help business with the entire process of designing, implementing, monitoring and managing e-business networks.

VeriSign says it currently serves more than 4,000 enterprise customers with its traditional managed services for public key infrastructure (PKI), secure socket layer (SSL) and domain name systems (DNS). The company is introducing a broad range of service for other critical security implementations.

Included in the expanded offering are the company?s managed virtual private network (VPN) and firewall services, designed to provide end-to-end management of secure encrypted site-to-site and remote access IPSec VPN solutions; managed intrusion detection and content vulnerability scanning services, which continuously monitor network traffic and set off alerts when a potential attack is recognized; and managed virus scanning services, which identify virus infiltration in real-time based on an up-to-date database of virus signatures.

VeriSign says its expanded security services portfolio integrates solutions from a list of respected providers, including ActivCard, Aprisma Management Technologies, Check Point Software Technologies, Enterasys Networks Inc., netForensics Inc. and Nokia. VeriSign also offers managed correlation, which uses security monitoring services from Counterpane Internet Security Inc. to aggregate and analyze security events across applications and multiple devices. This allows VeriSign to design and implement defense strategies to work on multiple levels across a company?s infrastructure.

"Customers are constantly telling us that they want to alleviate the financial and logistical pain of managing their security infrastructure," says Anil Pereira, executive vice president and general manager of VeriSign's enterprise and service provider division. "This new flexible portfolio of managed services is designed to meet customer security requirements on every level. Customers can manage their own security infrastructure with our guidance, or we can handle everything from design and implementation to monitoring and management. It's all up to the customer."
