ManageEngine , the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation , announced the launch of the MSSP Edition of its cloud-based SIEM , Security Information and Event Management solution , Log360 Cloud .

Organisations are finding that the overall cost of deploying and managing security solutions , including SIEM solutions , is higher than the price of managed security services . Due to these factors , more and more enterprises are looking to MSSPs for their security needs .
However , MSSPs also face specific business challenges , such as managing the security of their clients without compromising on data segregation as well as optimising resource utilisation and maintenance costs to increase their profit margins .
“ The MSSP market is set for expansion , but MSSPs have to assure their clients that data segregation and security are ensured continually . This requires additional investments in the appropriate technology , hardware and personnel , reducing the profit margins of MSSPs ,” said Manikandan Thangaraj , Vice President of ManageEngine .
The MSSP Edition of Log360 Cloud is designed to address the unique business challenges of MSSPs and thereby drive up their profit margins .
“ Leveraging the advantages of cloud deployment , MSSPs can ensure data segregation and security with no additional effort . Log360 Cloud also offers multitenancy ; RBACs in addition to security analytics ; and incident management and threat detection , investigation and response , TDIR features , making it the perfect fit to address the requirements of MSSPs ,” said Thangaraj .
Log360 Cloud ’ s MSSP Edition offers ways to seamlessly manage multiple customer profiles from a single console without compromising data security . Each customer ’ s data is logically separated from that of the others using a set of secure protocols in the framework .

Cloudflare Bot Management available on IBM Cloud Internet Services to address growing threat landscape

Cloudflare announced that IBM

Cloud Internet Services , powered by Cloudflare , has expanded its offering to include Cloudflare Bot Management , now available to help enterprises on the Enterprise Premier Plan address and combat the growing threat of malicious bot traffic .
Cloudflare and IBM Cloud have been working together since 2018 , integrating Cloudflare application security and performance natively into IBM Cloud through IBM CIS , powered by Cloudflare . CIS positions customers to configure their web and Internet applications to be protected against cyber threats including DDoS attacks and data theft , while enhancing performance and reliability with load balancing , optimised routing and caching , and data exchange , as part of the CIS suite of capabilities .
“ Malicious bots are part of this equation , posing significant risks and causing inefficiencies in business , from fraudulent transactions to fake attempts to make purchases ,” said Matt Harrell , Global Head of Channels and Alliances at Cloudflare .
Furthering the delivery of Cloudflare Bot Management comes as bad bots continue to consume resources and overwhelm organisations , accounting for at least a quarter of all Internet traffic , according to Forrester Research , a leading global research and advisory firm .
Modern bot management tools must keep up with ever-evolving attacks , offer a range of out-of-the-box and customisable reports , and enable human end customers to transact business with little friction or frustration . As malicious bot attacks become more sophisticated and manual mitigations become more burdensome , a dynamic and adaptive solution is required for enterprises running Internetfacing workloads . p
