SDI's outsourced managed security offering literally brings Fortune 500 level security to the 'Fortune Five Million' smaller companies in the US in a simple, highly affordable model. SDI's unique processes, technologies and service offerings create a leap in value for the customer that has enabled them to expand their business substantially in this market.
