Asset Protection & Enterprise Security

The very nature of today's extended enterprise creates new and unfamiliar risk exposures that often go ignored or undiscovered until its too late. Just in time business models that rely heavily on information systems to leverage global networks of partners, subcontractors, vendors and customers are most acutely at risk. The resulting interdependencies and shared risks cannot be managed by traditional point solutions. A seemingly isolated event can quickly become a "boundaryless crisis" as vulnerabilities within the network are exposed and operations disrupted.Therefore, companies must adopt a strategic view of risk and work to develop solutions that address the risks while supporting their business objectives and key earnings drivers and not impeding their ability to compete. In fact, a more resilient enterprise provides the company with a competitive advantage in today's increasingly global marketplace.

Business Intelligence & Integrity Risk

Increasing regulatory pressures reflect the rising tide of shareholder activism and general public distaste for low levels of corporate governance and business ethics. While many companies have responded admirably, their ability to enforce standards of accountability and transparency across their global operations is often limited. Meanwhile, increased levels of outsourcing, subcontracting and partnering exacerbate the interdependence risk that already exists. Shareholders and government watchdogs alike expect directors and officers to mandate their standards on all those with whom they conduct business and the penalties for non-compliance are severe. Companies must adopt a corporate strategy for addressing the issues of fraud, corruption, transparency and the protection of intellectual property, trade secrets and private information. Doing so is not merely an issue of responsibility but also of competitive advantage as progressive companies increasingly see the benefits reflected in their ability to access lower cost capital and retain valuable clients and stakeholders.
