The complexity of dealing with enterprise security continues to grow, placing increasingly heavy
demands on the IT department. Vendors have attempted to meet the challenge with solutions
that strive to let the IT administrator do more with constrained resources and less time. But these
have turned out to be at best only partial solutions. This paper introduces the concept of the
managed appliance, highlighting how they serve a specific purpose (i.e. email or web security),
and how they free up time while providing improved security, visibility and peace of mind better
than any other type of security solution available today. It explains how managed appliances score
over conventional appliances in the fundamental principles of efficient security management:
reduced daily administration, an enhanced overall user experience, and proactive vendor support.
