CSC (NYSE: CSC) has been named a “leader” in the IDC
MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Managed Security Services (MSS) 2015
Vendor Assessment. According to the IDC analysis, CSC received “top
marks” for its customer-focused approach to MSS service-level
agreements and client satisfaction.
The IDC MarketScape rated CSC highly in several categories of
MSS in the Asia/Pacific region, including comprehensive offerings
across MSS, security consulting, business continuity, and incident
response services, among others. Such offerings are complemented by
CSC’s “solid professional security services capabilities” in the
areas of assessment, threat intelligence, and compliance services,
the report notes. Recent “acquisitions of value” in the big data
and cloud orchestration space are expected to “strengthen and
broaden” CSC’s MSS position, the report states.
“There’s no question cybersecurity is top of mind for both
business and technology leaders today, and enterprises are
increasingly demanding dynamic, advanced managed security services
using big data analytics and automation technologies to guard
against rapidly changing threats,” said Ashish Mahadwar, executive
vice president and general manager, CSC Emerging Business Group.
“As the report notes, CSC plans to grow the number of our regional
Risk Management Centers from three to five over the next 24-36
months, reiterating our commitment to this important market.”
IDC collected and analyzed data on 16 organizations that offer
MSS services in the rapidly maturing Asia/Pacific market, in which
a fast-growing number of enterprises and government organizations
are looking for an MSSP with global capabilities and strong local
delivery. The IDC analysis found major differentiation among the 16
providers centered on their go-to-market capabilities in
Asia/Pacific, such as customer services, sales or distribution
structure; pricing alignment; partnership; and marketing.
For the purposes of its research, IDC MarketScape defines the
Asia/Pacific managed security services market as the
round-the-clock management and monitoring of security solutions and
activities delivered from a vendor’s SOCs or a third-party service
provider’s datacenter. Examples include customer premises
equipment-based (CPE-based) managed and monitored firewall
services, intrusion prevention and detection services, security
event and incident management, vulnerability management services,
patch management and upgrades, and identity and access
management.
