Business models and processes, applications, and technology infrastructure have all changed dramatically as a result of e-Business and the networked economy. This transformation, its impact and the associated risks need to be clearly understood and managed in order to make the most of the opportunity and the future of the business landscape. 

Security Services addresses the various elements of security and trust associated with communicating, transacting and accessing in this environment.

Security is not added onto e-Business-rather it is built in at all levels: infrastructure, application, and strategy. Our role in this fast-moving space is to help our clients identify risk and opportunity, transform them into Security Services solutions, and sustain the performance of those solutions.

Our approach is to anticipate important client needs when it comes to trustworthy e-Business.  By working collaboratively with our clients and utilizing the global resources of our firm, we are able to develop customized solutions to help our clients meet their objectives.

We approach solution delivery through product integration and enhancement, as many companies utilize a variety software products to address security, access, and control.  By aligning with strong software vendors, providing provisioning solutions, net services, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and directory services, to name a few, we can provide stronger solutions.

Our Security Services professionals assist our clients in addressing the increasing complexity of the networked environment, including risk of security breach, the regulatory environment (e.g., e-Privacy), secure and controlled access, and even labor shortage issues.

Where confidentiality, integrity, and availability are essential, serious web-based applications need to be deployed on a scalable, secure, and flexible infrastructure if they are to be trustworthy and grow. Typically, our clients need to integrate security-dependent web applications from the Internet to back-end systems, and to the underlying secure technology infrastructure. When it comes to the Internet, there is a growing need to build very tailored solutions for a variety of electronic or e-industry applications within banking, insurance, brokerage, public utility, manufacturing, health care, public sector, and high technology.

Accurate data in business transactions has always been important, and reliable, complete, current, and pertinent information needs to be presented quickly and continuously in the Internet business environment in order for you to remain competitive. We can help you assess developing content quality strategy and standards, with a focus on ongoing analysis, testing, and corrective actions. Our services include best practices, defining standards, strategy development, and cleansing data.

 

A Secure Infrastructure is necessary to deploy trusted applications. Technology infrastructure is the means to achieving high availability, scalability, and efficient security. It also includes Secure Networking to identify vulnerabilities, detect intrusions, respond to incidents, and monitor threats. Internal and external access to networks must be authenticated and information protected, whether it is in transit across the Internet or stored on a server. And in many cases, additional integrity and accountability issues such as non-repudiation, archiving, access restriction, and digital time-stamping, need to be considered.

Infrastructure needs may include public key infrastructure, directory services, secure messaging, intrusion detection, and enterprise systems security management. Integrated security solutions deal with a variety of security technologies including smart cards, biometrics, cryptography, firewalls, and virtual private networks.
