In this issue of Insight, the bi-weekly security newsletter
produced by The Internet Security Conference (TISC) and edited
by CoreCom's Dave Piscitello, Lisa Phifer considers outsourcing
to a Managed Security Provider. What questions should you ask to
find a provider that can really meet your organization's needs?

Providing secure business Internet service requires far more than
adding a firewall to your customer's network. ISPs can enter the
Managed Security Service market without growing in-house security
expertise by joining a reseller program like the one described in
this ISP-Planet article.

So what is the true killer app for broadband local access? Dave
Piscitello presents his case for shared access as a prime marketing
opportunity for CLECs.

to data CLECs who want to add voice.
