The business world is becoming more interconnected every day. The internet and global telecommunication services enable worldwide connectivity for employees, supply chain vendors and customers. As functionality increases, organizations rapidly become dependent upon them to such an extent that a fault or failure can have an immense impact on the organization’s financial viability. Even without a technical failure, faults with policies and procedures that cause breaches in security of customer, vendor, or private corporate data can devastate a firm and lead to years of litigation or worse.

In order to stay competitive, however, entities need to adopt new technologies and ways of doing business. At the same time, they also need to identify and assess the risks facing them and take proactive and continual steps to mitigate them.

The backdrop is that new security issues and attacks on commercial and government networks are the daily norm.

* Spyware
* Security holes in Browsers & eMail Clients
* Patches that patch previous patches
* Denial-of-Service Attacks
* Unauthorized Access by former employees
* Confidentiality Breaches
* Lost or publicly disclosed private customer information
* Viruses in ever-newer stealth forms
* Identity Thefts

Intranet and Internet security have taken a front seat in the average IT manager's list of worries. Furthermore, keeping up with the necessary best practices and technologies requires a team of specialists, something that only the largest of entities can afford on a fulltime basis. In addition, increased governmental regulations both in the US and abroad mandate that companies pay serious heed to security issues
