The Journey for Improved Security
Improve risk management by using an integration strategy for disjointed information security point solutions and processes to obtain a unified view of risks and controls across the enterprise.

Security Program / Governance Model
Challenges
A formal security program is vital for keeping our organizational assets safe, but we have no visibility to know if we have the right objectives, organizational structure and coverage. It is imperative that our approach to security keep pace with the business. Our challenges include:
- Understanding how and where to make the right investments.
- What are the skills we need now and in the future?
- How does our security program measure up to industry standards?
- Where should the security program be focused in the future?
- Is the right information getting to the right people when they need it?
- Do the policies and procedures accurately reflect our needs?
