Outsourcing Network Security

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the various advantages of outsourcing computer network security in an organization. It explains that companies outsource their network security in order to save money by obtaining the best security measures for the smallest amount of money. Secondly, companies to which security is outsourced specialize in the latest security measures and are, thus, able to provide the best security solutions. Finally, within a company, several political issues may influence the quality of security measures installed. Outsourcing security would eliminate the influence of battles within a corporation.

From the Paper:

"Because it is possible to connect to any computer in the world with increasing ease, it is also possible to threaten the security of these connections with increasing ease. Thus it makes sense to implement the best systems. This can be done only if the latest expertise is used. Of course computer knowledge increases rapidly every day. It is only when focusing on a specific aspect that an expert can hope to stay ahead of the increase of this vast body of knowledge. Thus, outsourcing allows specialized service from a company focusing solely on the aspect of network security, while computer experts within a company can focus their efforts towards other duties within the company itself."
