Verizon Business Security Solutions this week is expected to announce data-leak protection services designed to watch for and block unauthorized transmissions of content such as customer records, Social Security numbers, credit-card information and source code.
Verizon's content-filtering services are based on data security products from IronPort Systems (a Cisco business unit), Websense and Trend Micro, as well as a resale of the cloud-based MessageLabs service, according to Charles Spallitta, director of global product management at Verizon Business Security Solutions.
Verizon is offering professional services to analyze how data-leak protection fits into corporate data management; install required equipment on the customer premises; and monitor the gear from a Verizon data center. Spallitta says the arrangement could include client-based as well as network-based technology. (Compare data-leak protection products.)
The goal is to identity the most critical business data so that the equipment can be tuned to watch for it, Spallitta says. Feeds and logs from data security devices would be sent over the Internet to Verizon's security management centers in the United States or Europe.
In the second half of this year Verizon expects to add auditing and data-leak protection services for databases using technology from Imperva.
Prices for Verizon's data-leak protection services will typically range from $400 to $2,500 per month.
