Because of an array of high-profile Internet security breaches, global virus attacks and increasing reports of ‘Insider’ illegalities on corporate and business networks, the days of ‘One-Stop-Shopping’ for Risk Management Services and Solutions are over.

Security Firms, in response to business leaders challenges to the security community to provide ‘Real – Information Risk Management Solutions’ must package dynamic administrative & technical security and data segregation solutions suites with qualified introductions to other major players in the Risk Management field.
Security and Risk Management Firms should become positioned to provide qualified introductions for the business leader to the insurance community who are now offering premium information risk exposure coverage packages, and introductions to recognized Legal Services corporation who provide ‘insurance type’ legal services & representation to the small & medium sized business owner.
In the future, Security & Risk Management companies must offer “Best in Practice” principles of Risk Management, rather than stand alone products or services; ie. firewalls or Managed Security Solutions only. Business leaders appear to be looking for a package of service offerings when considering their Risk Solutions:
Total Business Threat Assessments
Risk Comparison Monetary Valuations on Threats
Management, Supervisory & Technical Vulnerability Solutions
Segregation & Reduction Of Business Data Risk Exposure
Information Risk Exposure Insurance Introductions
Information Risk Legal Aid Introductions
It is incumbent upon all of us in the security community to be aware of what the customer wants and provide Consolidated Risk Management Solutions.
