IT/IS Management
The challenge:
Driving top-down security strategy and managing IT and compliance-driven risks.
As an IT/IS manager, you’re tasked with ensuring that your security teams have covered every base in protecting your organization from a wide range of potential vulnerabilities and external threats, and making sure that your security controls remain in compliance with related industry and government regulations.
While your organization has implemented layers of defense mechanisms and policies to reduce operational risks, it remains challenging to stay abreast of all the latest threats and data-protection mandates while keeping IT and network operations performing at peak capacity and meeting demand from line-of-business constituencies seeking to employ new systems and applications.
As a result of the complex nature of these converging factors, it has become critical for you to regularly assess your overall security posture to determine where your most significant risks lie and how to go about addressing any remaining vulnerabilities through ongoing remediation efforts.
Your security teams are likely already leveraging technologies including scanners, patch management applications, and compliance management systems to help identify potential holes in your defenses. These tools provide a useful start to the security assessment process, but their collective output can be overwhelming and inconclusive, and fail to illustrate exactly where your organization’s greatest risks lie, or how to address them.
So how do you maintain visibility into your true security posture as your infrastructure grows, new vulnerabilities are discovered, regulations expand and cyber-criminals continue to evolve their attack techniques? Comprehensive, systems-independent security testing is the most effective manner of addressing these issues.
The solution:
Proactive security assessment and risk management.
