Convergence/IT Integration
Today’s global enterprises run operations with facilities, databases and vehicles in locations around the world. As operations increase in size and scope, so too does exposure to risk at all levels of business. The convergence of security systems with IT infrastructure allows enterprise-wide solutions to be built across LAN and WAN systems to offer a truly global level of protection.
Why convergence?
Convergence allows you to save money by establishing one common system rather than many individual systems. This allows for better alignment of security and corporate goals and streamlines operational effectiveness.
- Cooperation - Convergence allows for documentable cooperation between formerly unrelated security silos within your organization.
- Align corporate goals with security - In today’s climate of risk, it is important to move away from the traditional view of security as a cost generator. Convergence offers your company the ability to better align corporate goals with security goals and measure the results.
- One point of contact – Rather than appointing individual security heads for IT and Security, Convergence can position your CSO as the top level contact for all risk management issues.
- Save money - Converged securities offer unparalleled ROI thanks to reduced duplication of security efforts, centralized security monitoring, (eliminating the need for onsite security guards) and lowered operational costs. Additionally, convergence can solidify revenue streams by facilitating regulatory compliance and building customer confidence.
