Enterprise Security Solutions - Run the Business Thwart the Risks

Keeping business IT infrastructure and data secure from increasingly sophisticated threats is almost a decade-long struggle. In the early days of this combat, most organisations perceived security as a necessary evil. They had to invest in costly security practices and tools despite these being secondary to the actual mission of their enterprise.

This outlook has started changing as C-level executives realise that efficient security practices lead to efficient business practices in an age when threats are rapidly evolving, and the cost of security failures is enormous.

The business environment today is markedly different from that of 2000 to 2010 and earlier, wherein basic security models were adopted. Enterprises today generate their brand equity and value online using interconnected processes and strategies. They increasingly collaborate amongst themselves and with clients, exchange critical data and use the cloud for their operations.

As the attack surface expands and costs of data breaches rise, security practices are becoming essential business enablers and are not quite considered ‘necessary evil’. Organisations have come to terms with the risks lurking in their domains and consider IT security as a framework that helps them thrive.
