Infrastructure security is the practice of protecting critical systems and assets against physical and cyber threats. From an IT standpoint, this includes hardware and software assets such as end-user devices, data center resources, networking systems, and cloud resources.
Enterprises depend on their technology assets to maintain operations, hence protecting technology infrastructure is critical for any organization. Proprietary data and intellectual property (IP) provides many companies with significant competitive advantages in the market, and any loss of or disruption of access to this information can have profound negative impacts on a company’s reputation.
Provides outsourced monitoring and management of security devices and systems. Some of the common services include managed firewalls, intrusion detection, virtual private network, vulnerability scanning, and anti-viral services.
It provides 24/7 services designed to reduce the number of operational security personnel an enterprise needs to hire, train and retain to maintain an acceptable security posture.
It involves administering and managing technology, information, and data in a proactive way. Its scope ranges from the desktop to networking, storage, data, security, and cloud-based services.
Having an IMS provides clear boundaries for how a business infrastructure is managed. It can also minimize downtime and keep a business as productive as possible.
The process of systematically managing all computers in an organization, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and other end-user computing devices. Desktop management is part of the larger field of systems management, which includes all of the IT systems and services utilized by an organization.
Desktop management functions include install/move/add/change (IMAC), virus and spam protection and remediation, patch management, and traditional help desk functions such as password reset and managing and controlling
A suite of analysis tools designed to defend against advanced threats that use known and unknown attack vectors. ATP augments more common security solutions aimed at repelling known intrusion strategies.
Advanced threats are those that seek to surreptitiously gain access to a network and remain, undetected, in that network for months or even years, exfiltrating large amounts of data, conducting espionage, and/or causing significant damage.

Infrastructure security is critical for preventing damage to technology assets and data due to attacks, leaks, or disasters. It is also necessary for minimizing the amount of damage in the event of a successful attack or if a disaster occurs.
Infrastructure stands at the core of every business’s technology operations, and as such, infrastructure security is the lynchpin of their overall security strategy. It is perhaps easiest to think of infrastructure security as the master security plan for the organization, underpinning tactical strategies and everything else that is developed around it.
Improved Resource Sharing
Due to protection, resources on the network can be utilized by multiple users without threat, ultimately reducing the cost of operations.

Secured Communications
Internal email and chat systems will be protected from prying eyes. User files and data are now protected from each other, compared with using machines that multiple users share.
