4 Key Steps to Automate IT Security Compliance: A Unified Approach for IT, Audit and Operation Teams

Overview For businesses today, managing IT security risk and meeting compliance requirements is paramount. The past decade has seen an unprecedented wave of security breaches that have compromised the integrity of company-owned information - resulting in substantial financial and operational loss while devastating the confidence of customers, business partners and stakeholders. This tide of events has led to the establishment of technical standards, IT governance frameworks and laws designed to improve and enforce security - creating further pressure for organizations to define, control and govern their IT infrastructure more effectively. This paper discusses the challenges faced by organizations of all sizes - across all industries - and presents a Security as a Service (SaaS) approach to simplify and automate the convergence of security and compliance.
