Security isn’t just about protecting critical data. It’s about protecting your reputation.
A breach in a customer database has a huge impact on your brand. Identity theft destroys trust. Denial of Service attacks frustrate your customers, and electronic espionage can ruin years of R&D investment - turning a perceived market leader into an actual runner-up.
Security is about protecting your reputation, and that makes it a key boardroom issue.
The security challenge
Security in the digital networked economy is a greater challenge than ever before. You’re opening up information systems to collaborate with supply chain partners, customers and employees, but doing so increases your exposure to security threats.
Most of your intellectual property resides in email and other messaging systems, and most processes rely on digital communications. Achieving legislative compliance depends on secure, audited control of distributed information: failing to comply can have serious consequences.
Holistic security
Managing security in this environment requires a completely new approach, and involves more than just technology. You must take a holistic view of people, processes and systems at a global, local and site level. That can be extremely resource-intensive, particularly when technology, legislation and the needs of your stakeholders continue to change.
For many organisations, effective security can only be achieved by working with a trusted partner – one for whom security is a core competence, and one that can manage all or part of your security requirement on a long-term basis.
