PROJECTS
CISO
In order for that responsibility to be taken seriously, a strategy and someone to lead that vision from theory into reality is required. Enter the chief information security officer (CISO). First borne as a role that was exclusively the preserve of US companies, the job title has now made its way to British shores, too.
The CISO, who may also be referred to as a chief security architecture or information security manager, is an executive role that oversees the protection of company and customer data, as well as the protection of infrastructure and assets from malicious actors.
In an age of rampant data theft and aggressive but important legislation, such as GDPR, every IT facility in an organisation must be secure. That not only requires the implementation of security safeguards but also the training and educating of employees. With the majority of cyber security incidents being the result of employee error, it's important that a CISO is looking both internally and externally for potential threats.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, the work of a CISO must also keep pace.
VMware Infrastructure
Virtualization provides opportunities to reduce complexity, improve service levels to the business and lower capital and operating costs to provide and maintain IT infrastructure. Over the past five years many organisations have specifically deployed VMware infrastructure software on industry standard systems to significantly reduce their hardware, data centre, and operational costs--many report 70-80% cost savings, and 3-6 month ROI periods--while achieving unexpected gains in operational flexibility, efficiency, and agility.
Risk IT - Security
Risk management is an essential requirement of several of the most important information security standards and frameworks. Due to the nature and sensitivity of their business activity, the UK government requires compliance with these frameworks for both public and private sector organisations who aim to do business with the public sector.IT Governance will help you develop an information security risk management strategy, enabling you to take a systematic approach to risk management. This approach will reduce the associated risks to your information assets and protect your business from cyber threats.
DR/BCP/Failover
Your organisation's disaster recovery plan (DRP) is an essential component of its business continuity plan (BCP) and must include not only the physical setups for data replication and protection at a secondary location, but also effective failover and fallback strategies to ensure you will be able to execute your DRP successfully.
This is where we can play a part, where the right technologies can be used to get you business covered and risk mitigated as much as possible.
