Moving beyond fear with business assurance technology
Westcon Imagine 2014 - Security technology can focus on prevention and prohibition - and instil a culture of fear. Or it can centre on possibilities and enable companies to unleash their full business potential.
Blue Coat says the threat landscape is evolving so quickly, that we are seeing a shift toward a new approach that integrates real-time protection, dynamic analysis and post-breach investigation and remediation.
“This approach closes the gap that exists between ongoing security operations and incident discovery, containment and resolution, and provides greater security at the core of the data theft issue: the intersection points between users and data.
“The net result: businesses can move beyond fear and start focusing on possibilities.”
Blue Coat says 2015 will be the year where technology trends continue to take shape and transform the way organisations do business.
“Enterprises are beginning to recognise the importance of developing an advanced risk-based security strategy where decisions are made through the process of evaluating the vulnerability of systems, the nature of threats and the sensitivity of data.”
The company offers not only some of the industry’s most advanced and sophisticated security technology, but also the vision and expertise that demonstrate how security technology provides business value.
