Fujitsu launches cloud-based security system for businesses

Fujitsu has launched a new cloud-based solution that minimises the risks, costs and complexity of ensuring robust messaging security. Combining breadth of Information Communication Technology (ICT) security and cloud expertise from Fujitsu with messaging and web security technology from Symantec, Fujitsu Cloud End User Protect provides an end-to-end security solution for medium to large enterprises, bringing a new cloud-based delivery method to Fujitsu's extensive security-services portfolio.

This is the latest additions to Fujitsu's comprehensive cloud portfolio, intended to provide businesses with the choice that they need to modernise their ICT and innovate new types of service.

According to a report by Forrester security analyst Rick Holland, email security is a critical component of any company's security portfolio. Email remains a popular vector for targeted attacks, and a Spamhaus Project study found that more than 90 per cent of inbound messages are notlegitimate for a variety of reasons. Security provided as a service is an increasingly popular delivery method, with enterprises adopting new models such as software-as-a-service, withadditional benefits such as the off-premise isolation of suspect messages.

Fujitsu Cloud End User Protect is a powerful and flexible way to access best-of-breed messaging security, including email security, encryption and management from the Symantec cloud services core security offering, but with the added benefit of flexible integration with Fujitsu's managed-security services. Specifying and delivering ICT and cloud projects is complex, and Fujitsu Cloud End User Protect takes the burden of implementing and managing the IT security system away from in-house IT teams, allowing them to focus on IT modernisation and business innovation.

Delivered via a cloud-based model with flexible monthly payment terms, Fujitsu Cloud End User Protect eliminates capital expenditure and reduces the need for new hardware or software.

Services include:

Expert advice to assess requirements and developappropriate security measures Rapid implementation and fast roll-out capability

Ongoing service, from basic monitoring to fully managed Security Service Desk.

Pricing and availability

Fujitsu Cloud End User Protect will be available immediately in the Caribbean and in all major global regions in August 2013.

The service is available with Fujitsu's managed-security services from local sales representatives.
