Let NAVICENT help you do it right.Data has become a distinct competitive advantage and organizations are under constant pressure to keep these assets safe from loss, corruption and unauthorized disclosure. Further trends such as rising cybercrime, pervasive mobility, globalization, increasing rigor in global regulations, and a rapidly evolving threat landscape further complicate organizations security challenges. Organizations can't secure business processes without first fully understanding them, and building an effective security program requires a balanced technical and business perspective.

Here are a few examples of Information Risk Management done right:After an incident of insider fraud at one of the largest banks in a north Asian country, NAVICENT performed a thorough security analysis of its retail banking and credit card operations. This entailed a combination of network perimeter testing, security architecture analysis, and enterprise application assessment. Going beyond the limited scope of some industry criteria, this assessment addressed protection issues for all of the software, systems, networks, and people with access to sensitive financial information and transactions. This process uncovered numerous system vulnerabilities and provided the bank with a comprehensive picture of their security posture as well as actionable recommendations specifically designed for them. After a series of incidents in which patient information was lost from a number of hospitals, NAVICENT was hired to provide strategic remediation direction. Starting with a detailed analysis of the root causes of these incidents, we developed a methodology for reducing the exposure of patient records to loss as well as a series of technological measures to mitigate the remaining risks. The overall approach included a shifting of greater security responsibility to system designers and administrators, thus enabling healthcare providers to focus on their primary, care giving tasks.  |
