Information technology has revolutionized business, but has also brought with it new risks. Software vulnerabilities, malicious (or inexperienced) insiders and increasingly sophisticated hackers all pose significant challenges to the security of your enterprise

• More than 4,000 Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are launched each week
• Over 52,000 security incidents were reported to CERT/CC in 2001 - that's more than 144 incidents every day
• Computer worms and viruses caused over $17 billion in damage and downtime worldwide in 2000
• The FBI estimates that Russian hackers stole over 1 million credit card numbers from US-based e-commerce companies over a 12-month period ending in 2001
• The American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) and PricewaterhouseCoopers estimate that Fortune 1000 companies sustained losses of more than $45 billion in 1999 from the theft of intellectual property
• Insiders operating within an organization perpetrate 71% of malicious security incidents

Businesses heavily invested in information technology need to effectively manage their risks. The traditional approach to security relies heavily on products and services to prevent intrusions, but nothing is impenetrable. Effective risk management involves more than just deploying the latest security product and hoping for the best.

Solid Security Infrastructure Benefits the Bottom Line

The fundamental challenge facing information technology decision makers is identifying and implementing the architectures, technologies and processes that reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of corporate networks.

Deploying new technologies - including WLAN, LDAP or VPN - without adequate security considerations could rapidly eliminate any anticipated ROI. In addition, having a solid security infrastructure will help you open new business opportunities, create brand loyalty and increase customer retention.

Methodology and Process

To help our clients manage security risks, our professional services organization has evolved a comprehensive work plan covering both security and privacy issues.
We supplement our risk assessments with technical testing that measures how vulnerable an organization may be from the perspective of a hacker. Our technical assessment can detect and correct a number of IT security risks, including:

• Denial of service (DoS) and buffer overflow vulnerabilities
• Unused and unnecessary open ports
• Vulnerabilities specific to the Windows operating environment

The Datawiz Corp approach to information security involves a process-oriented, standards-based methodology that breaks risk assessment and remediation into four discrete components: risk assessment, remediation plan development, deployment and execution of the remediation plan and finally, testing. This lifecycle approach to security readily complements broader, more comprehensive risk management strategies already in place within the enterprise.

Our method for measuring and ranking security threats allows our clients to quickly and easily visualize what steps their organization needs to take to minimize security risks. We also have on hand a staff of experts who are highly trained in regulations like HIPAA and can help our clients complete gap analysis and compliance goals set forth by these new regulations.
