Business Drivers and Challenges
With the barrage of threats from both inside and outside the
corporate walls, mounting regulations enforcing strict security
and operations standards, and tightened IT budgets, organizations
face the daunting task of effectively managing their risk and
protecting ivital information at the endpoint.
It’s no small task and today’s mobile workforce multiplies
the challenge exponentially. Organizations must now extend protection
and control of their users’ behavior and corporate endpoints
to:
- Remediate application and OS vulnerabilities to stay
ahead of threats
- Maintain desired security configurations to reduce risk
and improve operational efficiency
- Prevent data leakage, loss or theft to ensure data protection
- Protect against malware, zero-day and targeted threats
to secure the organization and its vital information
- Deny use of unauthorized removable devices and unwanted
or unlicensed applications to ensure a trusted security
environment

C. Lincoln Health Network's CIO Rob Israel sits
down to discuss how Lumension Security's proactive
solutions have resulted in a 365% ROI. |
Overview:
In facing this challenge organizations have deployed many
point products, leaving them with no consolidated and consistent
policy-based approach. In these situations, there is no feasible
way for business, IT and security groups to interact with each
other because each solution is in its own silo.
Lumension’s policy-driven, Operational Security Solutions
enable organizations to effectively:
- manage risk across disparate groups
- comply with security policies and regulations
- consolidate IT resources
- reduce costs and improve overall efficiencies
A policy-framework is used to mitigate non-compliant behavior
or vulnerabilities before problems occur. Operational Security
Solutions make certain that desired security postures are consistently
and continuously enforced throughout the enterprise.
Lumension’s solutions are used across a wide range of industries
to address endpoint security and operational challenges.
