Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) is offering its Managed Security Services (MSS) enabled by Juniper Networks security solutions. As a part of SingTel’s suite of managed services, the MSS solutions prevent unauthorised access into customers’ networks and provide the first line of defence against cyber-threats such as viruses and worms.

SingTel’s MSS leverages the robust protection and ease of management of Juniper Networks Secure Services Gateway (SSG), Integrated Security Gateways (ISG) with integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP), and high-performance firewall solutions.

The SingTel MSS are designed to provide enterprise customers with fast, reliable and secure access to applications and services from a single network architecture.

“Businesses will have peace of mind knowing that their company data and mission critical applications are protected in accordance with industry best practices,” said Chan Yim Leng, vice president of Business Products, at SingTel.

“The MSS solutions are fully managed by SingTel, thus relieving businesses of the complexities of managing and maintaining ICT systems. This allows companies to free up valuable resources, reduce overheads and focus on core business activities. The solutions are offered with utility-based pricing models, which eliminate the need for heavy upfront investments and provide companies the flexibility to scale up their security needs quickly and easily as their businesses grow.”

SingTel offers the SSG as customer premises equipment, giving the customer freedom to customise features for specific sites while benefiting from SingTel’s expert network management. The SSG family of integrated network security appliances deliver a complete set of Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features including Stateful firewall, IPSec VPN, IPS, Antivirus (including Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware and Anti-Phishing), Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering.

Juniper’s ISG gateway with IDP and firewall solutions form the back-end of the new managed service.

“With rich security solutions managed by service providers such as SingTel, businesses can focus on their core competencies instead of IT administration, which frees them to focus on fuelling profitable growth,” said Brad Gray, vice president of South Asia Pacific for Juniper Networks. “We enable service providers to monetise their networks with innovative new services, which in turn can help their customers drive competitive advantage.”
