Security Isn't Easy, But We Can Help
Security, by its very nature, is complex. Every data file, application, device, network connection and cloud instance requires protection from hackers, malware, unauthorized users and accidental corruption. Individual pieces of technology are complex enough on their own. Adding security to the mix only amplifies the technical, operational and economical challenges. The complexity and difficulty of applying, managing and maintaining security are what drives an increasing number of businesses to opt for managed security services.
This playbook will not only assist you in being able to identify multiple service offerings that are available, but to help guide you in developing your own security service offerings. We invite you do download and review this guide, and if you are interested in pursuing an MSSP status, then please feel free to take our Practice Development Program Assessment below to gain additional knowledge on how we can help you grow your organization. |
Ingram Micro's
Security Practice Development Program
|
Ingram Micro’s Security Practice Builder is designed to help your organization create, improve or expand its position in a market place that is transforming at unprecedented levels. The Security Practice Builder focuses on key technology components of security solutions aligned closely to the NIST framework: IDENTIFY, PROTECT, DETECT, RESPOND, RECOVER. The multi-step approach to the program, as indicated below, will help you and your company build a strong foundation with focus applied precisely to the areas you've identified as needs.
Step 1 - Self-AssessmentSound practice building initiatives start with two primary objectives: A review of the elements that make up a successful practice and an assessment of how well your company stacks up to current best practices. By completing the self-assessment tab within you'll achieve both goals. Upon completion of the self-assessment you'll be presented with a report card to use as a guide in subsequent steps.
Step 2 - Calibration/Goal-SettingIngram Micro’s consultants and services experts will meet with your company’s Security practice stakeholders to review the responses indicated by the report card. This is a calibration exercise which will add clarity for all involved and accelerate the progress toward transforming your business regarding security services & solutions. Once the calibration is complete, we will outline a plan and create a prioritized list of goals and objectives you'd like to achieve. Agreed upon development objectives will be highlighted and mapped to specific and relevant modules in the ensuing program curriculum.
Step 3 - Path to SuccessStep 3 focuses on education, collaboration and partnership building relevant to the business plan established in Step 2. Throughout the curriculum you will be presented a series of training modules to help you establish foundational knowledge and skills. You will also meet 1 on 1 with a consultant who will answer any questions you have and review your progress. Upon completion of Step 3 you will be better prepared to “Go-to-Market” with your clients regarding Security solutions and services.
