Security requires a broad, organization-wide effort that extends beyond products to people, policies and actions. To mitigate risk and manage security, organizations need to be able to measure the effectiveness of the people, policies, processes and products securing applications and data. By gaining transparency into risk and security violations in the enterprise with rapid, flexible security assessments, organizations can rapidly improve risk management. Assessments should deliver a risk-relevant view of the IT infrastructure, enabling you to measure and track progress towards policy compliance targets. This white paper describes a new technology for conducting rapid, flexible assessments.
