Masergy\’s Intelligent Internet Managed Service

1. Intelligent Internet Management
The Internet is an essential part of business communications, but
if not carefully managed, threatens employee productivity, data
integrity and company profitability. Internet traffic from
non-business related websites can greatly impact an enterprise’s
productivity, while service-affecting attacks from malicious code
jeopardize security and can shut down a corporate network.
Deploying and managing premise-based firewalls create
significant cost for IT departments, which can no longer isolate the
business from the outside world to protect the corporate network.
Our Intelligent Internet Management (IIM) suite of network-embedded services enables
managed Internet browsing while simplifying network security. This cloud-based service
offers a range of Internet management services, from basic firewall functions to web-content
filtering and individual application control. There are no premise-based appliances; you can simply
manage your entire corporate network using a single set of policies. The service is always
available and ready for rapid activation once your policies are detailed and selected. Used in
conjunction with Masergy’s Intelligent Transport service, IIM makes securing your network easy
and cost effective, while providing your business with an integrated threat management solution.
