The Business Challenge
Security is not a product — it is the ever evolving integration and improvement of solutions and process based upon industry standards, proven methodology, and best practices. Done right, security improves business agility and competitiveness. The challenge is having an effective security roadmap which takes this holistic approach, defining security goals that balance risk, costs, and business benefit. In addition, effective governance of security and privacy requires that the organizational security policy and regulatory requirements be correctly mapped to the actual implementation of technical policies and procedures.
The AT&T Solution
A key foundation for asset protection is having a security policy which is up-to-date, fully implemented, and in active compliance. AT&T Consulting Solutions can develop, update and/or validate organizational security policy, craft configuration standards, procedures, and guidelines and identify solutions to codify into a policy-based management infrastructure.
Our Strategy and Roadmap offerings utilize the ITIL (itSMF) framework together with a custom blend of COSO, COBIT and, ISO 17799 that make business sense. This allows us to develop a pragmatic, business-driven IT Security Governance roadmap which typically addresses:
- Release Management
- Change Management
- Incident / Problem Management
- Compliance Management, and
- Process Improvement
A key component of our roadmap may include build-vs-buy analysis. More organizations are contending with the exponential growth in security threats, as well as the inherent complexity and number of managed network elements which require 7x24 monitoring and highly sophisticated methods and tools for analysis, detection, and intervention. While total security outsourcing may not be appropriate, selective use of specific managed security solutions may be worth consideration.
Our services are offered on either a project or "trusted advisor" basis, whereby senior security consultants act as a virtual member of your team. We deliver proven industry best practices, SME expertise, and lessons learned to facilitate the rapid realization of tangible security improvements aligned to your strategic objectives.
