Siemens Launches Managed Security Services Model To Help Combat Cyber Threats
A managed security service model in the physical security space is not a new concept. Physical security vendors and systems integrators have found that migrating services to either a cloud-based option or enhancing their customer service and value-added proposition can be a game-changer and a differentiator that increases revenue and ensures a loyal customer base. Large security solutions providers like Tyco have been helping their customers improve their operating efficiencies through a suite of web-enabled commercial security services for some time. The managed security service helps clients manage everything from physical card access control and video surveillance, to alert notifications that can quickly spread emergency messaging via mobile devices. But as the lines between physical and logical security systems continue to blur, IT-centric security vendors and integrators are now finding that managed security services might be a viable approach to addressing their client’s cyber security threats. Siemens announced this week that it’s Industrial Security Services group is launching a Managed Security Service offering in the U.S that is aimed at providing continuous protection to manufacturing and industrial production environments. The offering includes assessment of security posture, implementation of recommended security measures and transitions into ongoing defense against rapidly evolving cyber security threats in Industrial Control System environments. The new program will first be introduced in the U.S. followed by Europe and Asia. What makes the Siemens managed security services (MSS) unique is the fact that the initiative is being spearheaded by its Industrial Security Services group which is targeting […]
