Delivering Cybersecurity for your Service Customers
As more business and government services move to the cloud, the need for robust cybersecurity gets increasingly important. For Internet service providers (ISPs) of all types, such as Telco’s, and providers delivering website hosting, perimeter security, and other Internet-delivered infrastructure services, the need for built-in security protection is crucial.
The drive to improve cybersecurity across the board is coupled with an ever-present drive to reduce costs. It can be challenging for small and medium-sized service providers to balance the need for robust cybersecurity provision in their service offerings, with keeping costs for their customers as low as possible. Cybersecurity is an expensive expert function that requires teams of professionals to focus on it around the clock.
The business world is well used to using external experts to deliver specialised services in many areas. It often makes sense to use the benefits of scale provided by specialist service providers, with costs spread across multiple organisations, rather than skill-up individually.
The same is true when ensuring that security is built-in and maintained in cloud-based ISP services. It is often better from a cybersecurity and a cost perspective to use a pre-built framework from an expert cybersecurity company. FirstWave Cloud Technology are experts in this area, and they have a unique offering for ISPs called Cloud Content Security Platform (CCSP). It provides Enterprise level Security-as-a-Service that can be adopted and incorporated into the service offerings of ISPs of any size. Giving them the cybersecurity risk protections that the market demands, from a company focused and dedicated on cybersecurity, at a cost that will allow greater profitability for ISPs.

FirstWave Cloud Content Security Platform
CCSP is the only automated cybersecurity-as-a-service orchestration and management platform for service providers that integrates enterprise-grade email, web, firewall virtual appliances, plus endpoint protection services from global security leaders. It is also flexible and can onboard and integrate new security vendor technologies as they become available to deliver new cybersecurity services. CCSP also ties into ISP billing systems to allow the cybersecurity services to be provided for your customers and billed as part of your existing arrangements. Driving both customer satisfaction and ISP revenue streams. The value adds provided by CCSP also helps reduce customer churn for ISPs as their value proposition is enhanced.
CCSP is a framework that has been built to be used by service providers wherever they are. To enable them to deliver cybersecurity services to their customers via the existing channels that ISPs use to obtain, service, and manage customer relationships. The framework provides a partner ecosystem, as outlined in the diagram below:
Services to protect email, web applications, firewalls, and endpoint devices can be provided to integrate into the service offerings from Telco’s, solution providers, distributors, and global systems integrators. The security services are then passed on to the businesses and users the ISP works with. Existing customer relationships are maintained. CCSP does not blur the ISP brand and visibility for their customers as it provides enterprise-level security tools.
