Etisalat launches Managed Web Security Service for businesses

The Managed Web Security Service, the flagship of Etisalat’s managed security services portfolio, reportedly allows businesses to safeguard their organisational web infrastructure and resources from malicious web traffic, viruses, spywares and other damaging data capture.

Etisalat’s Managed Web Security Service utilises Cloud-based Security-as-a Service to deliver, the company claims, a multi-tenant, fully logged service which helps organizations to secure web traffic from any location in the world including Internet gateways, branch offices, data centres, home workers and mobile road warriors

“Leveraging the paradigm shift in the ICT environment, Etisalat continues to lead from the front and further broaden its market space and footprint into the managed security domain. By keeping abreast of market trends, Etisalat has developed a cutting-edge service that strategically minimizes associated revenue risks and allows businesses to prioritize web traffic based on organizational and bandwidth requirement,” said Hashim.

Powered by ZServices (Zscaler, Middle East Cloud), Etisalat’s Managed Web Security Service delivers businesses with tools to control web security, including URL filtering, advanced threat protection, inline anti-virus and anti-spyware, Web 2.0 control, bandwidth management, web access control and data loss prevention.

Etisalat is offering very competitive rates for the Managed Web Security Service, with several value-centric packages available, ranging from the Basic Suite to the Premium Suite, depending on the level of security required.

“It is a systematic approach to managing an organization’s web security needs. By choosing Etisalat as their preferred Managed Web Security Services provider, customers can be confident of implementing a managed web security service that will not only extend their safe reach but also enable them to take advantage of cost savings on their capital value,” said Mr Hashim.

The launch of the Managed Web Security Service adds to Etisalat’s significant investment in developing flexible and secure services, including the Managed Unified Threat Management and Managed SSL-VPN, and comprehensive support for Etisalat customers including a state-of-the-art customer network operations centre (CNOC), a collaborative IT infrastructure and superior knowledge capital manned by certified IT professionals.
