2011 Trends to Watch: Security
License Price: US$ 4,740.00
Introduction
Security needs are growing fast. Business faces a large-scale and well-resourced criminal network. Additionally there is a growing threat of cyber espionage and a need to meet ever more stringent compliance benchmarks. At the same time, businesses are becoming more inherently vulnerable through the greater use of autometed collaborative processes, and more flexible and mobile workforces.
Features and benefits
Enterprises face a pincer movement between the demands of regulatory compliance and the threats that are present in the cyber environment. Cloud services add their own particular challenges to this picture. We see examples, such as banking, where enterprises are turing to their customers to help provide security to the business environment.
