Making the Business Case for Advanced Threat Protection

Traditional network and endpoint defenses are outmatched and don’t stand a chance at preventing, investigating, or remediating today’s targeted attacks. You need an advanced security solution, but you may be struggling to convince your company’s executive team and Board to make the investment. If you want to make your case for investing in an advanced security solution to your company’s executives, then you’ll need to think like your executives.

This paper shows how to:
  • Properly communicate the challenges you face
  • Assess the business impact
  • Shift the discussion from bits and bytes to dollars and cents

Security Reimagined – Part 1

Conventional security detects threats too late (if at all), and resolves them too slowly. Organizations need a flexible, deeply integrated framework that offers a far-reaching view of threats and evolves as quickly as conditions do. And it must take an active, “lean-forward” posture. FireEye calls this approach Adaptive Defense™.

This two-part, educational series outlines this new approach to cybersecurity. Part I describes what features and capabilities organizations need in the face of a complex and growing threat.

Read Part I to learn:
  • Why it's time to reimagine your security architecture
  • How to reduce two key metrics: time to detection and time to resolution
  • How to use "hunting" and "gathering" together for better detection

Tactical buying as a transformational cost lever in high-tech: Surprising opportunities and savings

While Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) remain under relentless pressure to show sustainable savings, most procurement organizations overlook the bottom of the spend food chain. Tactical buying is an opportunity for procurement organizations to transform the way they approach lower-end spend for game-changing results. Building these capabilities and realizing the value of tactical procurement is made possible by advanced “target operating models,” which are a combination of targeted Human Resources (HR) and organizational design practices, advanced metrics, appropriately used sophisticated analytics and focused, process-driven technology.
