There's no question about it---security is at the forefront of IT concerns, especially for SMBs. Security is already a crowded space and to add to the confusion, more security products are being offered as managed solutions, incorporating the cloud infrastructure. How do Solution Providers decide between traditional on-premise security solutions and managed security services? What are the concerns of VARs over managed security, and how are vendors allaying those concerns?

  • What are the technical differences between on-premise and hosted security solutions?

  • How do anti-virus subscriptions and upgrades work with managed security?
  • Is there a greater ROI potential with managed security?
  • What are the statistics on Solution Providers embracing cloud-based security?
