Pressbox (Press Release) - IT Security is getting out of hand, what with…

• Over 3 Microsoft security patches a month (www.microsoft.com)

• 2000 new and ever more complex viruses a month (www.Sophos.com)

• 43,136 breaches in the first 6 months of this year compared to 52,658 for the whole of 2001 (www.sans.com)

It is little wonder that overworked IT staff struggle to keep their security up to date.

But not keeping security up to date can lead to dire consequences.

On the 1st August EMS Global will launching an IT Security service called Vigilance that ensures the major elements of the company’s security are up to date all the time.

The service is unlike any other in that it can be scaled to satisfy the budgets of an SME organisation or a multi national and can include Firewalling, Intrusion Detection, Remote Access, Email Management, Internet Browsing and Vulnerability Assessment.

The service will have management from EMS in Manchester, London, New Zealand and Australia guaranteeing 24/7 support.

Brian Pennington Solutions Director says “having been involved in IT for over 18 years I have never seen a service that can offer so much with so little effort from the customer”. “From the comfort of their desk they can control the most sophisticated and complex IT security solutions.”
