SAS Superguide: Security

Though information security has always been top priority for CIOs or IT
managers, the need for security is more pronounced in the emerging compliance
regime. Similarly, for companies that want to start or expand the scope of their
businesses through e-channels, systems and network security are among the prime
requirements. While there are some standard tools and gadgets for protecting
information from all types of internal and external threats, the security
solutions cover areas such as secure content management, threat management,
identity access management, and authentication. Advanced solutions include
Unified Threat Management (UTM), which help companies easily implement and
manage various security functions at reduced TCO levels.

Besides all these solutions, it's important for companies to make
comprehensive security policies to exploit the full potential of security gear.
So for ensuring consistent security for their information systems, enterprises
can hire the services of specialized vendors who can help them formulate right
policies, keeping in view their present and future information management
requirements.
