Following the recent instances of security breaches in the region, enterprises are beginning to chart a more holistic security strategy in 2012, extending beyond the IT department by looking at overall potential threats and developing mitigation strategies accordingly.

In the UAE, a large number of enterprises facing security threats are looking at investing in robust and comprehensive solutions to provide an ideal security environment for their users, customers, suppliers, and partners according to Yasser Zeineldin, CEO at eHDF.

Zeineldin's comments came during the launch of a new Remote Managed Security Service that is part of eHDF's Managed Security Services (MSS) portfolio.

The Remote Managed Security Service includes network monitoring, identification of threats within and outside the corporate network, log correlation, providing proactive 24/7 real time surveillance to minimize security risk and much more. In addition to providing core MSS services, customers can avail of Vulnerability & Penetration testing services, firewall, authentication, anti-spam and password auto repository services.

eHDF's new security offering provides enterprises an ideal solution at a fraction of the cost compared to internal IT staff attempting to manage an organizations' complex security issues.
