Unified Defense

issue 1 - June 2007
Unified Defense is a fully managed and cost-effective security service that delivers multiple security features from a dedicated device hosted in our datacenters or in your premises. This unified threat management solution coordinates multiple complementary security features to deliver a simple and effective riposte to numerous and increasingly complex threats.
 
business challenge
Security threats keep changing. Today more than ever, maintaining an adequate level of protection against all types of threats across the entire enterprise is a never-ending battle that requires multiple applications, patches, time and skilled resource. All-in-one security products deliver cost-effective yet comprehensive security while managed services provide the reliable and professional operational processes required to keep the solutions up-to-date.
 
our solution
Unified Defense is a new managed security solution combining several security features delivered from a single hardware platform. It encompasses:
 
  • Critical security features, available in a scalable configuration:
        - Initial configuration: a network firewall and anti-virus gateway
        - Optional features: intrusion detection (IDS) probe and prevention system (IPS), URL filtering engine, user authentication and a high-availability option for maximum resilience
  • A fully managed service including security management, change management, service management, fault and problem management, centralized monitoring (24 x 7), operational management and reporting
  • Worldwide availability: you will benefit from the same robust processes and guaranteed levels of service wherever you do business
 
Our approach
Unified Defense is a scalable, flexible and cost-effective approach to security and is available in four configurations. It can be tailored to suit small companies and branch offices as well as subsidiaries of multinational organizations, with service components available on demand. For instance, the minimum configuration of firewall and anti-virus can be enhanced at a later date by enabling the other available features. While we handle the repetitive processes, you retain total control over your security policies. Unified Defense is fully integrated with the other managed solutions in the Orange portfolio.
 
The result
A fully managed security solution gives you control over mounting security costs and leaves you with the flexibility to set your own security policy. The scalable, optional components of Unified Defense mean it is ideal for small sites or major campuses.
 
Business benefit
With Unified Defense, you can be sure that all of your sites, anywhere in the world, will always benefit from up-to-date protection against the most critical threats, for a fraction of the price of individual point solutions.
