Achieving compliance with more stringent, dynamic, and overlapping governmental and industry regulations requires that enterprises:
• Protect business-critical corporate information; most notably, Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
• Maintain control over and ensure visibility into corporate information assets, from servers to widely distributed and mobile endpoints.
• Communicate security policies and procedures with employees and partners.
Yet, passing compliance audits is no guarantee your organization is secure from advanced threats and malware.
This presentation will explore a model that better aligns these corporate goals, in which compliance and security initiatives converge. By focusing on driving risk out of the equation and taking a more proactive and, where appropriate, automated approach to security, IT can fulfill both missions more efficiently: achieve compliance, better protect corporate information, and help meet the financial goals of the enterprise.
