Eureka Technology Partners (ETP) has provided an end-to-end information security solution package to Asian Cotton Mills Ltd (ASCOT) following a security assessment of ASCOT's IT infrastructure.

The move comes after a preliminary IT security assessment, which covered areas such as perimeter security, router and firewall configuration, remote access, server security, desktop security and network security, with the goal of enhancing the clients existing security posture.

"While most clients have good security solutions in place, this type of security audits play an important role in terms of identifying vulnerabilities that remain outside the purview of day-to-day security practices," said Vice President of IT, Eureka Technology Partners Sulaiman Razmik.

This is a significant step for both Eureka and Sri Lanka as it clearly positions the country as a destination for offshore IT Infrastructure Management services.

In the ‘90s software development was being offshored. This was followed by BPO services in the early part of this decade. The third phase of offshoring is Remote Infrastructure Management.
