A Great Revenue Builder
This is what one of the Microsoft salespeople at the AMD – Microsoft Server Build Event told the people in attendance—mostly system builders and value-added resellers—about the Microsoft Security Solutions competency. I’m paraphrasing here because I didn’t have a pen and paper handy…
Folks are real concerned with security these days, and with training in Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004, you can build additional services revenue by creating firewalling rules for your customers. The Microsoft Security Solutions competency can be a great revenue builder.
This is why information security—and Microsoft—gets a bad name. Giving people whose job is putting together computer components the idea that they should be making money off security. Meanwhile, those of us that focus 100% of our effort on security can’t help, because their system builder “took care of” the security. Yikes.
