FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Security Infrastructure
What needs to change is the perception that the primary role of IT is in safeguarding and blocking data from being viewed by an outsider.
Security Metrics are critical for our ability to do better at our jobs, to quantify where we are succeeding and to measure what works, and how well it's working.

Enterprises must find the right balance to deliver a mobile security environment that meets productivity and flexibility needs without putting devices, apps, or data at risk.
