Let’s face it – your business is under assault on a daily basis.

Security risks to your organization manifest in a variety of ways: operational challenges,

network vulnerabilities and continuously evolving cyber threats. In order to limit your

exposure, you need a managed security platform and service that allows security concerns

to be anticipated and corrective action taken proactively – before critical business operations

are affected. Addressing security risk management as a structured business process,

rather than just blocking threats and fixing vulnerabilities, creates greater value in terms of

technology efficiency, resource allocation and security compliance.

STAY CONNECTED SECURELY

Today’s global business spans multiple locations and requires comprehensive mobile

workforce management. Whether you are a large multinational corporation or a regionally

based business, chances are you need to provide both resources and support to multiple

buildings, partners and mobile employees.

As your organization grows and the “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) trend grows, so does the

complexity of ensuring secure connectivity to your corporate resources and the challenge of

enforcing IT security policies.

PROTECT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT.

It’s the new reality: as your business grows and succeeds, the threat of security attacks can increase. At the same time, demand for access to your corporate network is accelerating with BYOD trends, increased teleworking, new vendor partnerships and the incorporation of small remote offices. Every connection adds another potential point of vulnerability to your infrastructure. Simply limiting access restricts productivity and inhibits network sophistication. How can you cost-effectively extend the security policies of your MPLS/IP VPN core network to all users?

Level 3 Secure Access Services can help improve employee productivity by allowing fixed remote locations (branch sites or home offices) and mobile users to securely connect for safe access to your network anywhere, any time.

SECURELY ENABLE BYOD ON YOUR NETWORKLevel 3SM Secure Access Mobility Service service connects remote users or teleworkers to your network via IPsec and SSL-based Internet connections and a standard web browser. Whether they connect with a laptop, tablet or smartphone, you have the ability to securely manage employee remote connectivity in a BYOD environment. Level 3 security experts assess your mobile computing needs and deploy a solution that removes complexity while delivering the security you need.

Let Level 3 manage Secure Access for you to help maintain secure business operations.

EXPERT TESTING, DESIGN AND PLANNINGIn today’s ever-changing threat environment, an organization without a comprehensive security plan is at a distinct disadvantage. The use of wireless networks is rising. More employees are accessing critical information remotely as organizations become mobile and dispersed. Social network sites are gaining widespread adoption. Businesses are moving their processes and applications to the cloud.

With Level 3 SM Security Consulting services, we can help ensure that your network is protected, with the right policies in place to effectively guard against or respond to an attack. Our consultative approach to network security draws upon multiple sources, including the security and IT policy needs of your organization, our experience of managing varied, global networks and IT environments and industry best practices.

SECURE REMOTE CONNECTIVITY AND NETWORK BACKUP

• Understanding your current security posture and business objectives.

• Identifying your critical applications and how they are currently secured.

• Determining gaps in your current architecture and policy through vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.

• Working with you to define a security strategy with a recommended implementation plan, based on business priorities and your return on investment (ROI) objectives.

• Reviewing how Governance, Regulation and Compliance (GRC) mandates affect your business.

• Working with your IT teams to translate your network security requirements into policies that we can implement, manage and monitor on your behalf.

• Mitigation assistance from our incident response team in the event of a security breach.

OUR APPROACH INVOLVES

Continuity of Operations. With the sophistication and complexity of attacks, enterprises typically do not have the internal resources or knowledge base to manage risk to their network. Level 3 has the analytical tools and people in place to see threats and attacks across multiple network service portfolios.

Manage Risk to Your Brand and Intellectual Property. The volume and complex nature of threats to your organization’s proprietary data requires the coordinated efforts of knowledgeable personnel, on duty every minute of every day. Level 3’s Security Operations Center (SOC) provides 24 x 7 monitoring and threat analysis.

Manage Operational Complexity. Cyber threats are constantly changing in form, volume, timing and points of origin. Most organizations do not have the budget to hire experts to manage these dynamics, and also focus on their core business. Level 3 uses our integrated security and network capabilities to stay on top of events across global infrastructures.
