Business Drivers & Challenges
Addressing CyberSecurity in Today’s Network-Centric Society
Increasing levels of cyber-crime and regulatory and compliance requirements, and an
explosion in use of “edge” devices and applications as a result of the Consumerization
of IT have created an unparalleled need for robust security solutions …
The key business drivers are:
• Increasing sophistication, frequency and scale of Cybercrime: Both public and
private sectors need to scale up there levels of protection across their operations
• Cloud computing: CyberSecurity must now be addressed across this full, integrated
environment where applications and data may be highly virtualized
• Rise of mobile devices and applications: The Consumerization of IT effect means that
there are a broader array of end user or consumer devices in use
• Leakage of sensitive data: Protecting sensitive data no matter where it resides
• Increasing regulatory environment: Dealing with the expected impact of new security
legislation applicable to the protection of critical infrastructure and resources
While these are not the only drivers, they are of a magnitude that is requiring serious attention to
compete in the CyberSecurity “arms-race” by managing risk and protecting assets
