Enterprise IT Security and Regulatory Compliance

When it comes to IT security, IT Managers/CIOs cannot afford to be reactive. They have to be proactive and put necessary checks and balances in place.

They need to continuously detect and analyze security incidents to ensure high state of preparedness in countering the security attack and in the case of performance incidents, to ensure more efficient network, better repair processes, fewer outages and a more timely resumption of operation.
 
IT managers and security administrators have a serious responsibility towards regulatory compliance, to ensure that defensive mechanisms are in place to protect confidential corporate and client data. Moreover, non-compliance to these regulatory standards could lead to stiff penalties including multi-million dollar fines and even imprisonment of those personnel responsible for security of data. All these risks make regulatory compliance a top priority for IT managers in any enterprise. 
 
Enterprises are in need of automated solutions, as they should continuously monitor the security of data files, server access, and applications. The more it is in real-time it is better. The CIO or IT Manager of an enterprise look out for a comprehensive solution covering threat detection within the internal network, external threat at the network perimeter, comprehensive regulatory compliance support and overall bandwidth usage statistics.
