August 2003 has been a busy month for IT Security Professionals with the Slammer Worm, and various viruses spreading like wildfire and with numerous Microsoft patches being deployed every couple of weeks. It looks like IT Security Professionals will be working at a faster tempo to mitigate the risk profile of their computer network environment for the foreseeable future.

“New threats are coming into IT at a faster pace along with the patches that are required to fix them” stated Michael Bruck, Founder and President of BAI Security. “Our Managed Service clients have been protected from this new rash of viruses and worms, but I recommend that our Audit clients continue to be vigilant in protecting their environment with continued Vulnerability testing on their Internal and External environments.”

Managing IT Security in your computer environment requires constant attention to the details. A program of management and monitoring requires IT professionals to keep up to date on the latest virus and threats that emerge from the Internet with a plan for rapid response. Since these threats are emerging so quickly, it requires IT professionals to monitor the latest news on stop-gap measures until the Virus Protection companies can update their virus definition files as well as waiting for Microsoft to issues the appropriate patch to fix the problem. A reactive mode is no longer enough to protect your environment. Proactive management and monitoring is required to fend off the latest attacks and for future attacks as well.

Managed Security Services from BAI Security provide the best protection for proactive management and monitoring of threats to your IT environment. IT Security is one of the fastest growing specialties within IT. Companies large and small are finding it harder and harder to find qualified individuals that can manage the complexities of 24/7/365 management and monitoring of their computer environment. The staff and resource requirements are pushing many companies to outsource security to Managed Security firms that can provide the leverage to support the latest technical resources along with the expertise in managing emerging threats.
