Maturing Security Intelligence Processes
Posted: March 1, 2010 at 11:48 pm | by Joe Gottlieb
In his most recent blog (http://www.sensage.com/blog/category/jim-pflaging-ceo-blog/), Jim Pflaging introduced a very exciting concept – Security Intelligence – and talked about how our most advanced customers are leading the charge in this improved approach to security and compliance management. I think it’s really important to emphasize the process aspect of this pursuit. We get pumped up about the technology because of all it can do, but organizations need to evolve their processes to get the most out of this technology. Even if they don’t consolidate the different groups involved with security (i.e., corporate security, security operations, IT operations, forensic investigation, audit/compliance and risk management), they can improve their coordination across these groups to reduce duplicated effort, human error and incident response times. The SenSage Professional Services team has been helping our customers tackle this sort of process improvement for over five years now and has codified its findings in the Security Intelligence Capability Maturity Model. The model provides a practical methodology to prioritize, plan and measure results in security and compliance improvement efforts, and will be a regular topic in our future blogs. We will be demonstrating the model and our Security Intelligence solutions in our booth #845 at RSA this week. If you’re at the show, stop by to learn more and share your perspective!
