Unisys Security & Risk Management

In today’s global economy, companies face combined pressures of protecting their assets from internal and external threats while trying to meet the demands of key stakeholders. Businesses who redefine the way they think about security and how they leverage it to meet business demands have a competitive advantage.

There are a lot of reasons why security and risk management are more important than ever. Consider that:

80% of world trade moves by sea – yet only 2-3% of cargo is screened.
There were 237 million cyber attacks worldwide in the first half of 2005, with 54 million directed at the U.S. Government.
IT security vulnerabilities have increased 500% in the last 5 years.
U.S. businesses lose $50 billion due to identity theft.

These points speak to the heart of any organization – reputation, Wall Street’s confidence and consumers’ trust, even the ability to operate reliably.

Business needs to see gaps and anticipate disruptions that can prevent successful and cost-effective execution and enable competitive growth.

Business Impact

Security is a competitive asset. It doesn’t lock you down; it sets you free. But only if it starts with 2-way visibility between IT and the business. Beyond exposing security gaps, visibility helps you find and eliminate excess costs or duplicative processes. It enables proactive risk management, too, so you can predict and manage both opportunities and risks, make better decisions, and take action if (and when) something does go wrong.
