Components of Remote Infrastructure Management in relation to a business

When it comes to disaster management will you consider an inexperienced technician or an experienced technician. If you choose the latter option, then Remote infrastructure management (RIM) is the right solution for you as they have more experience in handling seamless integration of IT resources better than an in-house technician. Most of today’s CIO’s have started to recognise that a RIM service provider is the best option to take care of IT resources. A good testament would be the moving of many SMB and large enterprise’s Infrastructure needs to employing a RIM service provider in recent times than investing heavily in IT resources to reduce costs. 


Component of RIM
IT service desk is the first point of contact for a business and it is where the handling of incidents, requests and providing of an interface for other ITIL processes happens. Through server management a RIM service provider monitors, maintains, secures and optimizes the server along with server setup tasks. A RIM service provider oversees your desktops, laptops and other computing devices as a part of desktop management remotely to improve uptimes. By storage management a RIM service provider virtualises, duplicates and compresses storage to utilize it in a better way. With the help of a Network Operation centre a RIM service provider monitors and mitigate security incidents as a part of security management for a business and maintain its data integrity to have a competitive edge. Because of network management a RIM service provider alerts administrators to anomalies and help take a preventive measure before the problem escalates, which increases the success of the business in the long term. 

OPSNOC is a Remote Infrastructure management service by Veeras that takes care of your Infrastructure needs and helps you achieve your core business objectives effectively.

How Infrastructure solutions from a Remote Infrastructure Management service provider can decrease your problems

When a business faces downtime it can impact the output of the business in terms of business activity and its delivery with reduced ROI. Investing in a skilled workforce and technology will increase the expenses and the time to implement it on an organisational level. It is a major problem for any business because it is not letting them concentrate on their core business and is making them focus more on infrastructure. When an in-house technician resolves an issue, there remains the problem of no root cause analysis documentation to prevent it in the future and this creates confusion if the same problem arises. 


Increase ROI With Remote Infrastructure Management 

This is where a Remote Infrastructure Management (RIM) service provider can help in resolving the issue immediately with the expertise of a skilled workforce who can improve the time-to-market reach for the business along with a detailed root cause analysis documentation it prevents the same problems happening in the future. A RIM service provider can help resolve the issue remotely after the issue was raised, even if his/her troubleshooting methods doesn’t work the technician raises it to another one of a higher level to resolve it immediately. Which is not the case for Remote helpdesk as the time taken for a technician to reach on-premise is high and if the issue is not resolved with his domain knowledge it takes more time till it reaches the next level technician. This creates disruption in a business’s productivity and makes them worry more about infrastructure in the future than concentrating on delivery to the end-user.

 A RIM service provider through a global delivery model can improve infrastructure availability to the needs of a business without letting the business concentrate on it and increase its ROI. As a RIM service provider improves the uptime through ITIL compliant processes and SLA driven engagement to reduce incidents by constantly monitoring and managing the infrastructure remotely. It reduces the level of incidents considerably lower than what it was before and helps the business to concentrate on core business. Opsnoc Veeras

How does a security framework help to prevent, detect, thwart and mitigate cyber threats

With the unprecedented growth of Managed security services market and the growing acceptance of Security-as-a-service delivery offered by cloud based companies for enterprises and small and medium businesses alike to reduce OPEX and CAPEX related security. Managed security service providers (MSSPs) need to up their ante in addressing the growing threat and their advanced threat protection (ATP) services.


To do that we need to have a Structured Advanced Threat Protection Framework to provide organisations an answer to the new class of advanced targeted attacks. And since there is no all in one solution to assure Protection from a Sophisticated targeted attack, MSSPs should deploy several security technologies with an eye to provide a complete ATP solution. And since, all the range of security software’s available has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. MSSPs should deploy the software’s in such a way that one software’s weakness can be compensated using another software.

FRAMEWORK OF MSSP

“Prevention is better than cure”:

The first step is to prevent the intrusion of threats in to the network by deployment of purpose built software’s like antivirus, antimalware’s and e.tc, to prevent known threats from entering the network. Then through network behaviour analysis we should flag traffic and any activity indicative of an attack in progress like malformed protocols, anomalous traffic associated with vulnerability exploit attempts, Fast flux activity and more. Then we should authenticate legitimate users with the help of authentication software’s and ensure endpoint security in Mobile and BYOD environments.

“You have to be vigilant about keeping your own fire alive.”  Tift Merritt

The second step is to monitor and detect the suspicious unknown code through IPS and IDS software’s. So, we can sandbox it to analyse by sending it through a network sniffing device to know if it is malicious or not. If its malicious then we can move on to mitigate it as the third step.


“I think malware is a significant threat because the mitigation, like antivirus software, hasn't evolved to a point to really mitigate the risk to a reasonable degree.”- Kevin Mitnick

Upon detecting a threat through the sandbox an alarm will be raised to SOC and its customer to take immediate mitigation to ensure the safety of resources and data. At the same time the response is taken for the improvement of gateway services for fixes and implementing it on all security layers and being delivered to different security enforcement points to update Antivirus and Intrusion prevention systems signatures and e.tc. So, that the threat will be known in all levels and can prevent the threat in the future.

This complete framework’s flexibility in terms of all available options allows MSSP to tailor the best ATP service for each customer’s need. Veeras.com
