Dimension Data announced a new assessment offering that helps organisations assess the maturity of their security architecture, the underlying security safeguards that protect their human assets from cyber-attacks, and their processes and technologies.
Matthew Gyde, Dimension Data’s Group Executive – Security, said, “Even employees are not safe from variety of threats including drive-by and watering hole attacks which often occur over a weekend.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.”
In a press release, the company pointed out some insights that its security architecture assessment offers:
- the ability to determine capability and maturity of key architecture controls around people, processes and technology using industry standard metrics
- a security roadmap linked to the business objectives of the organisation
- validation or enhancement of the security strategy and architecture programme
- ability to manage security to industry standards such as ISO27000
- standardise and control best practice across systems and locations
- share metrics with the business to align IT security with the rest of the organisation
