SINGAPORE, Dec, 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NTT Com Security (formerly Integralis), a global information security and risk management organisation, has been selected by leading Asian corporate and advisory service provider BoardRoom to provide next-generation Managed Security Services (MSS), covering sites in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The MSS will be delivered under NTT Com Security's single global brand, WideAngle, launched earlier this year to represent its portfolio of managed service, consulting and technology products.
Headquartered in Singapore, BoardRoom is the partner of choice for many Fortune 500 multinationals, public-listed and privately-owned enterprises. BoardRoom offers an integrated suite of smart business solutions including accounting & finance, HR & payroll, internal audit, risk management, shareholder and taxation services, all of which need to operate in a secure environment.
"As a market leader BoardRoom takes security and compliance with local and regional regulators extremely seriously. BoardRoom also understands the benefit of working with advanced security professionals, so this is a great opportunity for us to showcase our next-generation WideAngle Services," said William Yeack, President of Asia Pacific, NTT Com Security.
Together with NTT Singapore, NTT Com Security will design, implement and manage security components as part of the new solution. By offering a flexible business approach, the total solution is being delivered under an opex model with monthly payments, enabling BoardRoom to avoid incurring up-front costs and to better manage cashflow.
"Like many other businesses today, we see managed security services as an invaluable tool to guard against threats and maintain confidentiality. The services from NTT Com Security will certainly enable us to reduce costs but, more importantly, it reduces risk and enables our clients to shorten their time to market while ensuring they are compliant with the local and regional regulators," said Gene Lim, Associate IT Director of BoardRoom.
"Through our reliable, high-quality networks and state-of-the-art data centers, and in collaboration with NTT Com Security, we will continue to help customers strengthen their businesses by optimizing and securing their ICT environments, in a seamless, end-to-end basis," said Takeshi Kazami, CEO & President of NTT Singapore.
BoardRoom's production environment uses NTT Singapore's Enterprise Cloud platform, which is part of a global network reaching more than 150 countries with over 140 secure data centers worldwide. The NTT solution will include deployment of next-generation firewalls coupled with an intrusion prevention system that will give BoardRoom visibility of all network traffic based on application, user or content.
