Threat Assessment & Management

Just like the largest enterprises, small and mid-sized business need to address the impact of the Internet on network security and industry-specific regulations requiring data protection and compliance.

Today’s Internet supports ‘Any Device, Anytime, Anywhere’ access to the corporate network, so businesses are grappling with a growing network security challenge that requires managing threats on multiple levels using a broad range of security measures.

• Preventing “hacker” attacks is a big part of network security however the challenge extends beyond hacker defense. It also encompasses denial of service attacks, new viruses, multi-pronged attacks, and physical network protection.
• The ever-evolving nature of Internet threats requires businesses to implement security solutions that support timely, comprehensive updates that keep their threat detection capabilities current.
• Stopping and repairing the damage after a security breach requires a completely different skill set.

Compliance issues arise whereby organizations are required by industry mandate or regulation to ensure that corporate and customer data are governed properly, including:

• HIPPA
• Sarbanes Oxley
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley
• Individual state mandates

Virtualization, Cloud Technologies, and the economic benefits they bring are increasing the need for organizations to be able to know that their data and compliance initiatives are intact.
