Original Press Release:
Internet Security Systems Provides Mobile Access to Managed Security Services Customer Portal
~ On-Demand X-Force Threat Analysis and Critical Infrastructure Information Available to MSS Customers at No Additional Cost ~
ATLANTA, Feb. 21 -- Internet Security Systems (ISS) (NASDAQ:ISSX) has enhanced its Managed Security Services (MSS) Customer Portal, allowing users to monitor the status of their critical infrastructure from virtually any wireless device with a new Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) option. In addition to granting customers the freedom to monitor their infrastructure remotely at no additional cost, ISS is also providing mobile notifications of security incidents and early-warning threat analysis from the ISS X-Force(R) security intelligence team.
IT staff at today's organizations are under an increasing amount of pressure with regard to information security. Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented rate and the race to stay educated on key issues and vulnerabilities can be an overwhelming chore. Adding to the pressure is the dual internal and external pressure of maintaining compliance with the growing list of government regulations.
ISS Managed Security Services removes the burden of day-to-day security management from the enterprise, allowing IT staff to focus on more strategic business initiatives, such as reducing operating costs, increasing efficiencies and achieving regulatory compliance. MSS Portal features including customized executive and technical reporting options help organizations to better quantify the value of their security investments, while new communications tools and mobile access to information assist in maintaining control of security programs.
"The MSS Customer Portal developed by ISS is a key component of our security operations," said John Ohlman, manager of IT Risk Management of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. "We rely on ISS Managed Security Services and X-Force(R) research daily, not only to help protect our business, but to keep us up-to-speed on the most important security threats and issues we're facing. These new additions will provide us greater flexibility in how we receive, review and report on our security posture."
Expanding Security Awareness, Enhancing Communications
In addition to interactive, mobile communications with ISS security experts from virtually any wireless device, new security news feeds, and clear, graphical depictions of the status of operations, ISS is providing its MSS Portal customers with the following site enhancements:
-- Full site search capabilities that help customers to correlate security tickets, worms, viruses, incident report, and logs to research and articulate the true impact of security events across their enterprise.
-- Customizable executive and technical reports allow staff to generate and tailor reports to diverse audiences in support of increasing government regulations and internal security reporting needs.
"Reliable research and intelligence information are the most powerful weapons enterprises can have in the battle to keep their operations ahead of today's threats," said Rick Miller, vice president of managed security services at ISS. "Customers entrust MSS providers with the welfare of their businesses and they should not be imprisoned by an inability to access the information they need on the status of their business, or the most current and credible security research possible. Providing our MSS customers with continuous access to X-Force intelligence at no additional charge shows our commitment to being a partner in security."
