Even if the customer needs a commercially viable solution at the expense of few security features being compromised, we shall ensure that the nuances are well explained, understood and accepted by our customers,” says Ashok.
With the advent of Consumerization of IT, CIOs are facing insurmountable pressure while trying to trace the vulnerabilities impacting the organizations’ network and the application infrastructure along with the inclusion of advanced persistent threats (APT) which certainly has the potential to throw compliances out of control and distress brand credibility. These threats lurking around emails and web channel have triggered the need to bolster the security aspects with respect to Device Identification, Access Policies and Data Safety.
