Business Solutions for Technical Challenges

Reduce Enterprise Liability

Doing business online exposes enterprises to pressures beyond making sales projections or delivering product. Domestic and global standards for auditing and accountability, personal responsibilities for senior management, and regulatory demands from state and federal government agencies all contribute to the landscape of risk management.

Managed Security Monitoring is insurance for protecting your enterprise against potential financial loss associated with this type of liability. Being aware of your network's activities and vulnerabilities and simultaneously exercising pre-emptive actions immediately mitigates the risks of unknown business threats, as well as providing a more concrete definition of risk associated with your network presence and IT infrastructure.

Improve Information Safety

One of the most damaging attacks to an enterprise network occurs when the enterprise customers' data become compromised -- by criminals looking to steal either identity credentials or actual financial instruments. Think you are safe because nobody has heard of you or why would anyone attack you? The reality is that too often attacks against your infrastructure are already in progress, and all that varies is the degree of your attacker's persistence.

Your customers expect you to take all means necessary to safeguard their data. Your partners and auditors have more detailed expectations of Best Practices being applied at all levels of the infrastructure, and demand documentation highlighting what steps you've taken.

Managed Security Monitoring is a fundamental necessity to help you respond to these demands, by collecting raw data, classifying it according to the risk it represents, and highlighting tangible threats seeking to leverage vulnerabilities you may not even know you have.

Facilitate Regulatory Audits

Customers, auditors, and regulators alike expect evidence of an enterprise's progress. Most regulatory and audit standards now explicitly demand results to be certified by an independent third party, and that the processes which generated those results also be documented.

Managed Security Monitoring provides an objective presentation of security log data from your enterprise infrastructure, and the history of all decisions related to configuration and tuning is reproducible at any time. Auditors no longer need to chase data all across the network; they can retrieve it from one place and work with BT Counterpane as needed to answer their questions.
