Solutions
Our clients today face not only new demands but also the acceleration of change. The requirement for secure networked information and availability is not new but now it has no boundaries. Some of today's challenges our customers are subject to:
Governance and Compliance
Customers need to protect information from both external and internal threats and document the processes and results both from an operational and managerial perspective. We believe that regulations are only going to increase, and where possible, selecting platforms that deliver security/audit processes will have a better return on investment.
Staffing
Clients today are hard pressed to find the appropriate security resources. Most times if they are a smaller company they can not afford the full-time commitment. Larger companies, frequently in the absence of finding security talent, promote from within and hope for the best. And finally, there are those companies who have the talent but the security demands have doubled where the staffing has not.
Technologies
wireless, IM, P2P, audio/visual communications. All these technologies place new security and performance demands on today's network. How do you adapt to change and how fast? How do you integrate enablers while you have a business to run?
Business
It is no longer enough to apply new technologies but they need to be measured and re-measured against business objectives. How much to invest to mitigate risk? What are the success metrics? Are the right people trained to leverage these technologies and processes? Am I prioritizing to support the core competencies of the firm? Have they changed? The relationship between business and security needs to be fully integrated and demonstrable.
