Sify Launches End-to-End Managed Security Services

CHENNAI, India --(Business Wire)-- Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ:SIFY), a leader in Consumer, Internet and Enterprise Services in India with global delivery capabilities, today announced the launch of its end-to-end Managed Security Services (MSS). This service will be powered by a state-of-the-art Security Operations Center (SOC) set up by the company in Bangalore.

With this launch, Sify will offer its Enterprise customers the entire suite of Managed Security Services including 24x7 Monitoring and Management of Security Devices, Security Event Correlation and Reporting along with a range of other value-added services like Vulnerability Protection, Compliance Monitoring and Forensics Services.

Mr. P J Nath, Executive President, Sify Enterprise Solutions, said, "Managed Security Services are one of the fastest growing services in India with a market size of about Rs 181 crores last year. We expect robust growth in demand over the next five to six years with many more companies moving towards online processes and storage, or enhancing their current capabilities. So the addition of end-to-end Managed Security Services to our Enterprise Services portfolio is timely, and will build on the considerable expertise we have developed over the years in infrastructure management and information security. The launch of these services makes Sify even more competitive in managed services with our range of enterprise service offerings across connectivity, hosting, applications and security enhanced by their addition."

Powered by a high-tech SOC in Bangalore and backed by a strong delivery platform using a dedicated customer web portal developed in-house, Sify is well poised to cater to the Managed Security needs of both domestic and global customers.

Sify's MSS will help customers to:

-- Proactively secure information assets and pre-empt security threats

-- Ensure 24x7 managed security for their mission critical assets with guaranteed SLAs

-- Ensure 24x7 availability of critical systems and protect information assets more effectively through actionable security intelligence

Sify's competitive edge comes from its vast and diverse expertise in security technologies, deep domain knowledge in information security consulting, excellence in delivering infrastructure managed services, and a solid understanding of the Internet and the threats associated with it.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
