How Secure is your Security – Assessed it yet?

Traditional approaches to information security are no longer adequate to protect information networks

Dimension Data revealed a new assessment offering that helps organisations assess the maturity of their security architecture.Matthew Gyde, Dimension Data’s Group Executive – Security, says “When assessing the robustness of an organisation’s security, we cannot leave out the employee. In fact, it’s essential that employees understand their role as both an asset and a potential security liability in an organisation,”

“Organisations must be able to address root cause issues and apply the right resources and controls in the most effective way to protect key assets,” he says and points out that Dimension Data’s security assessment was designed to be a globally consistent, consulting engagement framework that’s vital for organisations which have a global footprint.

The other insights include ability to determine security architecture maturity, validation of architecture program, and control best practices across systems.
