The scope & spanning of security services in IT

In the times of the highly-connected Internet, we’re facing increased vulnerabilities to our networks — which are more common to distributed networks. With large-scale data breaches coming into the picture, whether it’s a small startup or an enterprise organization, security should be a top priority.

In security, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Every network is unique and requires trained professionals to create tailored plans across all fronts: apps, databases, network devices, cloud servers, IT infrastructures, and the most vulnerable in the security chain: users. These security plans to be updated, upgraded, and evolved on a regular basis.
