Verizon Business of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, announced the rollout of its next-generation managed security services platform, which introduces proactive threat management capabilities. An enhanced online portal provides customers with critical information about their entire security infrastructure and three new cost-effective service tiers address the unique business requirements of enterprise customers. Going beyond first-generation threat and vulnerability strategies to address underlying risk, the new platform enables management of multiple security platforms, changing business requirements, and increased compliance requirements. It also enables enterprises with limited security expertise and resources to effectively secure their networks at an affordable, predictable cost. The State and Event Analysis Machine enables custom­ers to identify threats by gathering information from the company’s global IP network as well as customer network- and premises-based security devices.
