"Change Outlook towards Security"
By Prabhu Ram
Mumbai, Mar 10, 2009 1653 hrs IST
Each enterprise has a unique setup and hence it
needs to identify requirements and customize security. The
customization should be based on an enterprises' immediate
imperative and available budget, recommended Santosh Koratt, CTO of
SecureSynergy.
"SMEs needlessly spend in unwarranted
investments. Security, when customized prudently and intelligently,
offers more value returns to small and medium enterprises," he said.
Before any solution is deployed, enterprises need to introspect to
evaluate two important things -- current exposure to risk, and scope
of vulnerability.
Actually SMEs need to change their outlook toward
security. "Processes at workplace play an important role. Hence it
is crucial to invest in people training, and also in backend
security applications." It is important to bind these applications
with business continuity, which is also a subset of security.
Organizations often fail to categorize priority and
severity thereby leading to higher capital expenditure, said Koratt.
The challenge is to prioritize business operations and
customize security standards for prudent investments.
