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.
"Teaming with VeriSign Enterprise Security Services allows us to work with a trusted security partner, enabling our IT security teams to focus on only critical and actionable events," said Audrey Pantas, Director, Information Security and Risk Management, Xerox Corporation. "We chose VeriSign after an extensive review process because of the deep knowledge of its staff, breadth of offerings and outstanding record of service delivery and innovation."
"Working with Xerox is compelling validation of the value our combined Enterprise Security Services provides to large global organizations," said Mike Denning, Senior Vice President for VeriSign Enterprise Security Services. "We continue to invest in our processes, people and technology to deliver cost-effective and industry-leading solutions to help today's IT departments keep pace with ever-evolving security threats."
