Keeping the
state of your enterprise known and configured correctly over time is not a
trivial task. The dynamic nature of enterprises and the constant
emergence of new vulnerabilities require the ability to balance IT Security
and Operations compliance initiatives. The cost of failing to ensure the
proper controls and patches are well known. For instance, it is
estimated that the ‘Code Red’ virus cost organizations across the world
$2.6 billion to control and remediate.
Why was
‘Code Red’ so successful in decimating over a quarter million servers,
particularly when Microsoft pinpointed the potentially devastating effects
of the virus and produced a patch for it more than a month before the first
infections?
It's simple:
IT departments just DO NOT have the tools and resources to immediately
ensure every single application server in their enterprise is located,
assessed and protected.
SUM it UP:
Security Compliance = Assessment + Remediation + Verification
