Battling sophisticated
threats: Security strategies for the resilient enterprise
For many years, IT security discussions were dominated
by virus outbreaks, keeping script kiddies out of corporate
networks, and basically having updated backups. But
today's threat landscape has changed. Corporate security
threats have become more multifaceted, networks have
become more open, and hackers are becoming targeted,
better and faster.
To make matters worse, the roles of IT infrastructure
engineers and security managers have become broader
with increased responsibilities. Their many stakeholders
have different demands:
Senior management wants to hear about practices
that contribute to the firm's success.
External customers, suppliers, and partners want
protection as well.
Compliance officers want to move beyond satisfying
legal regulations and focus on internal intellectual
property protection and other issues. And the costs
of these efforts are increasing!
These decision makers need to put a security strategy
in place to make the enterprise resilient and prepare
for tomorrow's challenges in a cost-effective manner.
Critical questions you
should consider
In view of the market's needs, comprehensive
security solutions have appeared in the market over the
past 1-2 years, offering holistic protection. What exactly
do these solutions include? What are the features and
benefits to look out for? Are there any pitfalls?
Business agility is another key objective in recent
times, and it means a demand for constant change in
services and processes delivered by IT. Change means
instability and the potential for service disruption
and security exposure. What are the security strategies
that will keep businesses up and running?
Security and continuity issues are vital and need to
be addressed in order for the enterprise to be resilient
and agile. Indeed, the security software market in Asia/Pacific
(Ex Japan) is forecast to grow with CAGR of 16% for
the next few years to hit US$1.7bn in 2010.
