Managed security services based on provisioned security services (PSS)

Abstract

The paper discusses the reality of Managed Security Services today and their drawbacks. It then moves on to propose a solution to the most burning problems. The solution, Provisioned Security Services, is based on the premise that providing a strong provisioning platform, which automates processes and integrates into providers' networks, will allow large providers to become key players in the area of managed security services. Architecture of an actual PSS solution is provided and briefly discussed.
