Your data
are safe in the cloud
T-Systems
Hungary would like to change untrustful Hungarian enterprises’ attitude towards
cloud services with launching several new services that improve data security.
There
is a direct relationship between the financial stability of enterprises and the
safety of their digital data, i.e. if the data are secure this provides a firm
background to safely pursue business activities.
“Managers should recognize this close relationship first” - said Arthur Keleti,
T-Systems Hungary’s IT security strategist to Napi Gazdaság, who thinks that
“the majority of Hungarian enterprises still not think of their digital data as
a valuable asset and as long as this attitude is not changed they will not take
proper care of the safety of such data”.
So
first of all this attitude should be changed to encourage Hungarian small and
medium enterprises to turn to operators that provide secure data services -
even from the cloud - like T-Systems Hungary. However, Hungarian SMBs do not
trust cloud services yet and think that their data are more safe if stored by
themselves and managed by their experts instead of giving out this task to
“external” experts. The attitude, culture in Hungary is completely different as
opposed to Western Europe or the USA where enterprises do not build their own
security system if they can procure it from the market - says Arthur Keleti.
According
to the expert IT companies may offer much better conditions, even in a complex
environment - even within the cloud - than the own data management system of a
given company. Keleti says that SMBs are more safe from an operational and
process security perspective if they use the services of professional
companies. Based on the strategist’s expectations in the long-term companies
will be more interested in services that offer higher data security.
T-Systems
Hungary Plc. offers several services with which companies may further increase
the quantity of their data. Such service is the InstantSecurity package that
offers protection against DDoS server attacks. Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attacks are sometimes launched from several hundreds of thousand of
coordinated clients and their primary objective is to overload and collapse the
attacked server. T-Systems Hungary Plc.’s InstantSecurity service package offers
a centrally managed anti-DDoS service that is far more effective than a simple
company level protection.
Taking into account the increasing
complexity of IT systems and the number of known vulnerabilities it is an increasingly
bigger challenge to detect and investigate security incidents (like attempted
external breaches and internal unauthorized access to data). Log files are of
key importance to monitor the security status and activities within an IT
system. Most organizations do not monitor these indicators continuously and
analyze them only in case of serious incidents. T-Systems Hungary Plc.’s
InstantSecurity package includes log file collection and analysis tools to meet
such challenges.
The Managed Border Protection is a combined security service that offers
firewall, virus,- spam,- spyware protection and content filtering functions
within a single service.
The solution is built on a central, high performance security system that is
capable to manage several customers simultaneously. The central protection
tools are located in T-Systems’ data center and are operated with the use of
Magyar Telekom’s backbone network.
