Security Cost Consolidation

Traditionally organisations have invested in separate layers of security to take care of different things such as web filter, anti-spam, anti-virus, IPS, firewall protection and remote access security.

For each different product involved there is an initial cost, ongoing licence fees (per user or per PC) and support maintenance cost and separate management platforms required for each, which when added up all together, is a very expensive exercise.

There is also the associated training cost to consider, to keep your IT team skilled in each area of network perimeter protection. Plus the ongoing re-skilling costs when thereâs a new product update or if a member of your IT team leaves and a replacement needs to be trained up.

Fault diagnosis can often be a problem as well. With different points of support through the separate layers of security, and therefore various technology vendors, there is not one point of contact you can call when something goes wrong.

LAN2LAN has experience and expertise in this area to work with you to consolidate your network security costs. We will help you to migrate and consolidate your different layers of technology into just one product and one support contract using a phased approach that reflects your licence renewal dates.

If you are under pressure within your IT department to reduce your IT spend due to budget restraints, reduce your budgetary training costs, or worse case scenario, reduce your IT resource - LAN2LAN can help you to protect your internet gateway without the multiple technologies and costs associated.

If you are currently running multiple technologies for web filter, anti-spam, anti-virus, intrusion prevention, firewall security or remote access for mobile solutions with two-factor authentication, we are confident we can consolidate your network security costs.

LAN2LAN will work with you on-site to skills transfer our knowledge and operational know-how to designated members of your own IT team or can we provide a full structured training workshop if required.

In summary, consolidation in the network security space is being driven by;

Continued increase in sophistication and prevalence of network security threats which require multiple security protections
Increased corporate adoption of Web 2.0 applications and IP-based services provide new methods of attack
Increased pressure on IT Managers to improve security service while reducing TCO
More pressure upon reducing both the physical and carbon footprint of IT infrastructure

Network security consolidation can help you deliver greater security with a reduced budget. It reduces your power and space overheads, shrinking your infrastructure estate without harming its effectiveness and allows you to make far more efficient use of existing resources, budgets and skills.
