Research and Markets : Highlighting the approach that should be taken to building a Security Management Infrastructure using the services of the Technology Marketplace

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22659) has announced the addition of Security Management Report to their offering

The principal objectives of this report are to provide security decision makers - Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), Chief Security Officers (CSOs), Chief Risk Officers (CROs), and other key security staff with a detailed understanding of Security Management, in order to highlight the importance and benefits that can be achieved from the building of an integrated Security Management infrastructure. It is believed that this involves taking the key decision to move on from deploying point-based protection systems, which only deal with single issues, to a situation where the whole protection infrastructure can be properly managed.

Key areas covered will include:
- Highlighting the approach that should be taken to building a Security Management Infrastructure.
- Putting together the appropriate building blocks as they apply to the business.
- Delivering security services that support the whole user community.
- Reviewing the key technology solutions that need to be considered when building towards the delivery of Security Management.

Leading security vendors are currently promoting Security Management as an approach to the delivery of protection services that will ultimately add control, integration, and enterprise level information to a sector of the technology marketplace where all these elements are often sadly lacking. However, before going overboard in the rush to endorse yet another new approach to IT security, it is important to understand what is on offer, how its services can be delivered, and what commitment is required in order to get there.

Key Findings

- The existing scattergun approach to IT security that involves organizations deploying and utilizing a range of point-based protection solutions is not good enough. It is inefficient, and often leaves security holes that are ripe for exploitation.

- It is imperative that every enterprise establishes a comprehensive security strategy, encompassing: Business Continuity Planning, System Access Control, System Development and Maintenance, Physical and Environmental Security, Compliance, Personal Security, Organizational Security, and Computer and Network Management.

- Security needs to become more of a business enabler. Therefore, its protection model must incorporate the flexibility to grow and change alongside the business operations that it is put in place to protect.

- Security Management involves making better use of existing security technology by underpinning and integrating its operational role with a central core of information and management services that can be used to provide common security services and common information flows.

- Enterprise organizations have had enough of pulling together a patchwork of security solutions in order to protect networks, systems, and applications. They are now looking to achieve the integrated delivery of their protection facilities, and for vendors that are capable of achieving this level of service.

- In the business world, full risk assessment must look beyond IT security breaches, to include physical threats from natural disasters, and non-software threats, such as external disasters, crime, and sabotage.
