This document describes Scalar's managed security services. It notes that cyber attacks are increasing in frequency and severity, posing a major challenge for organizations. While security has become a top priority, many companies lack the in-house expertise to effectively manage their security. Scalar's managed security services allow companies to leverage their specialized skills and expertise through three tiers - Insight, Monitoring, and Management - to address security issues for a predictable monthly cost. This reduces the need for companies to invest in recruiting and training their own security staff.

Organizations today face a greater security challenge than ever before. According to our research, the majority
of Canadian IT professionals believe cyber attacks are increasing in frequency, sophistication, and severity.
A plethora of high-profile breaches both within Canada and around the world have made security a board-
level concern. In today’s market, your data is your business. Almost half of respondents in our research said
they had experienced a breach within the last year that led to the loss or exposure of sensitive information. IT
teams now have a new mandate added to their ever-growing list of responsibilities – effectively protect the
enterprise’s data to manage business risk.
Why Leverage Managed Security Services?
Despite the increased focus on security, only 37% of Canadian IT professionals believe they are winning the
cyber security war. A lack of in-house expertise and an insufficient number of skilled personnel were two of
the top reasons respondents cited as to why they could not effectively manage their security posture.
Managed Security Services allow you to leverage our highly specialized skills, technology, and expertise,
directly matched to your business need, all for a predictable monthly cost.
