Misconfigured systems are common—and a common target of cyberattacks. But that’s only part of the problem. Many organizations know they need to dedicate more resources to cybersecurity—they just can’t find enough people with the right skills, knowledge, and experience.

This cybersecurity skills gap affects organizations around the world and shows no signs of shrinking. While many businesses struggle to recruit, train, and retain in-house cybersecurity staff, one option has emerged that provides a clear competitive advantage: Managed Security Services (MSS).

Partnering with the security professionals from Fortra means your security configuration gets the time and attention it needs. Our team of managed security service providers have the expertise to spot problems with your security configuration before damage occurs and prioritize issues based on severity of the risk.

Managed Security Service Offerings

The growing need for qualified cybersecurity teams has created enormous demand for trained professionals that the labor market has been unable to meet.

Our security professionals are here to fill that gap.

The not-for-profit Center for Internet Security (CIS) developed cybersecurity benchmarks that are verified by objective security experts who are all volunteers. Each benchmark item is a recommendation designed to harden your system configuration.

CIS benchmarks are so well respected that some of today’s most common regulatory requirements and security standards—including Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS, and NIST—recommend CIS as a source of industry-accepted cybersecurity standards.

These CIS benchmarks are the foundation of Fortra Managed Security Services on AIX and Linux. Our security professionals leverage best-in-class tools to audit your AIX and Linux systems, comparing your configuration to CIS recommendations on 25 benchmark items:

Managed Security Services virtual CISO

Protecting your mission-critical systems requires a well-developed strategy. Many IT professionals don’t have the time or the knowledge to create that strategy, let alone execute on it consistently.

As a result, some organizations have turned to a new solution: a virtual CISO (chief information security officer). You get access to a security leader’s specialized knowledge and free up your IT team for other day-to-day responsibilities, without having to recruit an in-house security pro.

With Fortra Managed Security Services, the expertise of a virtual CISO is at your fingertips. Our team of security professionals apply their knowledge and experience to your unique environment. Your security configuration gets regular attention and your security policy is applied consistently. Managed Security Services helps you take control of your cybersecurity posture, while significantly reducing the risks to your systems.
