Gartner: Security policy should factor in business risks.

Understanding the business risk posed due to security threats is crucial for IT managers and security officers, two analysts have claimed.

Viewing and analyzing security threats from a business risk perspective is surely a worthwhile goal.

How do you operationalize this objective? Deploy a Log/SIEM solution with integrated IT/Business Service Management capabilities. These include:

  • Device and Software Discovery
  • Layer 2 and Layer 3 Topology Discovery and Mapping
  • User interface to group devices and applications into IT/Business Services
  • Change Management Monitoring
  • Alerts/Incidents with IT/Business Service context
  • IT/Business Service Management Reports and Dashboards
