Enterprises are now facing a wide range of cyber-security threats that target their infrastructure, applications, operations and even employees. As more companies put their business information online, there is an enlarging attack surface for hackers looking to access company Websites and IT infrastructure. Disturbingly, most attacks today are carried out automatically using an army of bots that are not targeting specific companies. Hackers instead are trying to reach as many Websites as possible to maximize their botnet ROI, and any company, big or small, is a target. With the rapid evolution of online threats, more cloud-based managed services are becoming a part of the enterprise security strategy. The benefits of mitigating threats at the perimeter, having security experts on your side, and not having to deal with updates, maintenance and other operational aspects are appealing to IT managers—even if they have an in-house security team.
