"No
field is quite as dynamic or fast-moving as security. It is the issue
of the internet age." Bill Gates
If Bill recognises it, it's good enough for us. In truth, with our
clients, 1stBase has worked in this sector for some four years,
in virus, spam and porn prevention, DOS and DDOS, Managed Security
Services and in-house security devices, internet and network security
and enterprise policy. Our role has been to identify sectors and sub-segments,
advise on market access and channels, source company and contact data
on the field, and create selected, specialised IT Security databases.
Issues
in IT Security are wide-flung, affecting every PC user, every IT
organisation and every CEO. Some industries, such as financial services,
insist on rigid security standards as a backbone of self-regulation
and protection for the customer while others, such as travel, rely
on market forces and competition to drive customer interests. In
all, the role of IT Security Manager is complex, with technological
advances on a weekly basis, new products and services designed to
contain security risks and ease the load. Meanwhile threats become
more sophisticated, aggressive and publicised.
In
a business or public sector body, there are at least two main areas
of consideration for IT security: corporate governance and technical
solutions.
Corporate
governance is the remit of the Chief Executive or Departmental Head
(or Compliance Director) who has responsibility to stakeholders
and to customers (the public) for effective management and efficient
operation of the enterprise. Dangers lurk everywhere, within as
well as externally, and remaining alert is the responsibility of
all, governed by security policy, established by the senior management.
Security policy affects every aspect of the enterprise's operation
and the more we all become dependent on IT for every daily action,
the more IT security takes a central role in that policy.
Technical
IT security solutions are the chassis, nuts and bolts of the designed
enterprise. Planning them in the light of policy and technology
advances and latest risk assessments and publicised experience and
legislative imperatives is a minefield. A strong IT Security manager
is a key decision-maker in the organisation, with the support of
his own line management in IT, possibly the IT Director, and eventually
the Board of Directors.
These
key decision-makers are the unit that 1stBase concentrates on in
the sourcing of target contacts for IT security products and services
vendors. Take a look below at the profile of 1stBase's IT
