Skybox Security VULNERABILITY AND THREAT Analysis of current vulnerabilities, exploits and threats in play Trends Report 2018

SRC Solutions offers independent risk assessments for IBM System z, i and open systems.

European law dictates that companies, financial corporations and government agencies are required to secure their sensitive personal data. Although every sector has their own security regulations they all work in similar way: software and hardware must comply to strict and detailed rules and procedures. The organisations have to prove their continuous efforts to comply to these regulations, failures to comply are heavily fined. Every organisation is responsible for their own security, meaning that risk assessments are essential. In this article Infosecurity Magazine asked SRC Secure Solutions about their field experiences with independent risk assessments.

Protecting Your Data—How Much Security Is Enough?

The answer to “how much security is enough?” all depends on the data that the organization possesses. And then what must be considered is: does the data fall under any regulatory requirement and how valuable is the data to the organization? Let’s consider these points.
