Security

Giving you a new approach to security

For a major multinational logistics company, rapid growth was both a blessing and a curse. It had grown quickly, but it became so large that its IT staff was having difficulty keeping its widely distributed infrastructure secure. What the company needed was a security management framework—and that’s exactly what Verizon Business was able to give them.

It’s the same story for businesses all around the world. The more they grow, the more vulnerable they become. Businesses have to connect partners, suppliers, manufacturers, remote offices, and remote employees to their systems, applications, and information. With today’s extended enterprise, where data has to flow freely between your business and your many partners, there are more unknowns—and more risks—than ever before.

With all of these new complexities, it’s time for a new approach on how to handle information security:

• Think wider: Security controls should span the extended enterprise and should be executed where they are most effective and cost-efficient.
• Think deeper: Security should span the entire IT stack, including the network, data, applications, and users.
• Think smarter: Security decisions should be based on risk, not just threats and vulnerabilities.
