   Choosing the right managed security partner

   While at RSA earlier this year, I had an interesting discussion with Sean Martin of imsmartin consulting.  He was speaking to managed security providers and corporate IT leaders about security outsourcing. We discussed which security tasks are better suited for outsourcing and how companies should select a managed security provider.  Sean furthered his thoughts on this topic while attending Interop last week.

    

   Sean just published some well reasoned thoughts on security outsourcing in an article for SC Magazine called "Outsourced Managed Security:  What should you outsource?". It's recomme...
