The Compromise Crisis

On the face of it, it might seem cost effective to keep with what you’ve already got, but overlapping products, multiple vendors and redundant management and reporting systems actually drive up ownership costs while reducing ROI. Software, hardware and infrastructure investments add further layers of cost and complexity and the resulting eclectic mix of security presents integration challenges.
Organisations need trusted channel partners to work with them to ensure they receive solutions that provide maximum security protection, across all their properties and at a minimum Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Modern enterprises
Channel partners must now cater to a modern enterprise network, a network that extends far beyond a single location; it must also encompass branch offices and mobile workers and security technology must address this challenge. Companies can now choose a mix of SaaS and on- premise that best suits their needs so that security is seamless as an employee moves about the office or around the globe. This changing environment means the channel must look to provide hybrid solutions. Technology is needed that can integrate both cloud-based and on-premise (software or appliance) delivery platforms with equal effectiveness. The solution to this problem is once again - unified content security.

Unified content security allows businesses to manage risk without hindering legitimate business operations. Such a system understands the role that ‘context’ plays in the security decision-making process; it reaches across multiple communication channels, content categories, and usage scenarios to recognise potential security threats. It covers both external and internal security threats, preventing the loss or misuse of business data just as effectively as it stops traditional malware or perimeter security attacks.
No compromise
Such a solution provides the management, policy definition, and reporting tools that businesses rely upon to maintain control and to maximise the returns on IT security investments. This kind of technology also does a much better job of managing blended web, email and data security risks. If a unified security solution is brought in, it will provide a set of robust and far-reaching threat assessment and intelligence tools.

So when it comes down to it, there is no need to compromise after all. By employing a unified security solution a business will get real-time protection against blended and emerging threats, it can side step the cost and complexity of point security solutions, gain enhanced regulatory compliance capabilities, and enjoy the ability to enable new, web-based communication and collaboration technologies safely.
