System integrator Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) and security vendor Symantec joined forces this week to offer end-to-end managed security services.
Under the deal, unveiled Thursday, Symantec will bolster CSC's security solutions with security monitoring services, including intrusion detection, security device management, and data analysis and correlation.
In exchange, CSC will deliver Symantec solutions to its customer base, and will work with Symantec managed security service providers to sell the expanded solution to new companies as well.
The partnership involves no product; only services.
According to Grant Geyer, vice president of global managed security services for Symantec, the alliance enables the Cupertino, Calif.-based vendor to reach a much broader base of customers, and could serve as a "bellwether" of similar deals down the road.
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
Age is only a number. Don't let a high number cancel your career.
