CPCNet and Cybertrust Join Forces to Provide Managing Risk and Managing Security Services

CPCNet, a leading provider of MPLS VPN in Greater China and Asia Pacific, and Cybertrust, the global information security specialist, joined forces to offer an Integrated Suite of Information Security Services to companies operating in Greater China. Grouped under the name TrustCSI™, the new services are driven out of a world-class Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Hong Kong.

Growing companies need security
The TrustCSI™ concept was conceived in 2005, in response to the growing need for fully integrated communications and security services. As a result of rapid growth of China market, most enterprises operating in China are facing security challenges - including various cyber-attack, suffering from more viruses, worms, denial-of-service attacks, and identity thefts than their U.S. counterparts. In view of tremendous growth, companies are often under-prepared and overstretched when it came to protecting their IT assets. To address this critical issue, CPCNet and Cybertrust join hand to help enterprises with practical, fast and cost-effective solutions to their IT security issues.

A partnership for the future
“When Cybertrust approached us for a partnership to set up a SOC and deliver comprehensive information security services in Greater China,” says CPCNet Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Ho, “it was clear that they understood the market and saw the opportunity. They also had a vision for how both CPCNet and Cybertrust, as market leaders, could offer world-class managed security services to companies in Hong Kong and China.”
“We knew that leveraging Cybertrust's proven IT Security implementation and operational skills, along with its management and monitoring technology would give CPCNet the ability to offer customers with the integrated services they needed, and eventually to extend this out to other services, like penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and compliance.” says Mr Ho.

Trust works simply
The CPCNet's SOC was built on top of the company's carrier-grade Network Operations Centre (NOC) and fully leverages Cybertrust's global security expertise and intelligence. On top of professional training, Cybertrust is also working with CPCNet to craft the necessary security policies, procedures and processes to ensure the highest standards of service delivery.
The collaboration results in CPCNet managing the SOC and providing first-line TrustCSI™ customer support, with Cybertrust providing back-end support. Like Cybertrust, the TrustCSI™ services are vendor and technology neutral, meaning they can be adapted to support any type of IT infrastructure. “TrustCSI™ enables companies to address the security challenges they face in Greater China, where the current IT security levels often most need to be improved,” says Mr Ho. “Through a broad range of TrustCSI™ solutions flexible enough to meet the varying needs of different types of organizations, customers will benefit from 24x7 device monitoring and threat tracking, security analysis, reporting and compliance.”

Intelligence gathering
As part of the venture, CPCNet leverages Cybertrust's world-renowned OnlineGuardian technology to improve intelligence gathering on devices deployed in its customer's information security networks. With this technology and through the use of a Security Dashboard interface, CPCNet can provide customers with a consistent and centralized overview of their information security controls and security status.

A brighter future for security in China
The TrustCSI™ model offers organizations the peace of mind that comes with the proven performance of the region's leading communication and security solution provider, combined with Cybertrust's industry-leading OnlineGuardian technology and MSS operations expertise. By collaborating with Cybertrust, CPCNet's TrustCSI™ deploys the Managed SOC MSSP baseline in the Asia Pacific marketplace, provides device monitoring and delivers an integrated information security management services for addressing enterprises' need across Asia.
