VeriSign Enterprise Security Services, has announced that it has been chosen by Xerox Corporation to provide Managed Security Services (MSS) to better protect its corporate network from security threats.
Utilizing VeriSign MSS will allow Xerox to maximize the value of its information and network security investments, while minimizing its exposure to security risks.
Under terms of the agreement, VeriSign MSS will provide a full suite of services to monitor Xerox's network security environment, including Firewall Monitoring, Network and Host-Based Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) Management and Log Management Services.
Additionally, VeriSign will provide its iDefense Security Intelligence Services to identify, verify and track vulnerabilities, malicious code, and global threats facing its network.
The deep intelligence from iDefense works in conjunction with VeriSign's anomaly detection engine, proprietary event signature lifecycle process, and event response teams allowing VeriSign to provide customers with a unique level of protection from botnets and other sophisticated attacks. The initial deployment calls for VeriSign to monitor several hundred devices and log sources for Xerox globally.
