NTT Communications (NTT Com) said that it will launch a new service for total security management of PCs and other IT assets on an integrated, low-cost basis on April 1, 2010.
The new service, known as Biz Security PC Management, will be the company’s new offering under cloud-based BizCITY concept of providing secure access to enterprise services from anyplace at anytime.
According to NTT Com, the new cloud-based service will integrate security and asset management features for the security of each device including patch management, restrictions on data export or adding new applications, and exhaustive measures for preventing information leaks or virus infections.
