NTT Security Partners Symantec to Launch Web Security as a Service (WSaaS)

NTT Security announced that it will integrate Symantec’s cloud-based security service with its own enhanced threat detection, providing Web Security as a Service (WSaaS).

WSaaS will be the first service offered through the partnership program with Symentec and will be delivered as part of NTT Security’s Global Managed Security Services.

The new service will provide real-time threat intelligence, analysis and protection, together with the management and security monitoring of cloud-based web security solutions. It has been designed by NTT Security and Symantec to reduce overall security risk, minimize the impact of security threats, and help clients meet compliance requirements. The service offloads the burden of real-time network and device monitoring, advanced security analysis and security management, allowing clients to focus on the timely delivery of higher quality secure IT services for their organization.

As a standard feature, WSaaS will provide risk ratings based on threat intelligence from both Symantec and NTT Security, which will be more effective in providing enhanced security analysis and rapid deployment through both agent and agentless capabilities. NTT Security will holistically be able to handle logs from web security services as well as on-premise security appliances such as Proxy, Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System and Intrusion Detection System and Sandbox for enhanced correlated analysis. WSaaS is served on NTT Security’s best-of-breed global managed security services platform, which enables security services with the same high quality across the globe.

NTT Security said it will continue to develop state-of-the-art security solutions including using Symantec’s cloud-based sandbox and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) service, which are also planned for future release.
