Intellitactics announced it is hosting a free, on-demand webcast entitled "The Role of Security Information and Event Management in Security Governance, Risk Management and Compliance." Sunil Bhargava, Intellitactics Chief Technology Officer, talks with Derek Brink, Vice President and Research Fellow of IT Security with the Aberdeen Group, about the Best-in-Class view of security governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC); the expression of business objectives as policies; and the role security information and event management (SIEM) plays in providing the link between policy and behavior. The webcast is one in a series of "First Person" podcasts and webcasts that explore topics related to security management and feature experts in the areas of management, compliance, and security technology.
Brink provides a focused look at principal findings derived from primary research, including key performance indicators and best-in-class insights. In this webcast, Brink examines the
leading environmental pressures driving investments in security governance, risk, and compliance; the strategic business reasons behind such investments; and improvements in business,
process management, and technical capabilities that organizations are reaping from properly funded security initiatives. Further, Brink discusses the benefits of SIEM solutions and how
current users of SIEM solutions are achieving superior results in security GRC.
The webcast is available on-demand at The Role of SIEM in GRC (http://www.intellitactics.com/int/research/webcasts.asp/utm_source=prweb&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=08202008&mtcPromotion=PressReleaseAberdeenGRC&mtcCampaign=5054).
Attendees will also receive the Aberdeen Research Brief that reveals how current users of SIEM solutions exhibit superior capabilities in security governance, risk management, and
compliance.
"Organizations of all sizes are compelled to demonstrate compliance with industry and government regulations, industry standards and best practices, or internal policies related to
information security," explains Brink. "These policies, as the explicit expression of an organization's business objectives and their view of the optimal balance between protection,
compliance, and profit, provide the foundation for the most effective security governance, risk management, and compliance programs. Although their capabilities are still developing,
there is clear evidence that companies with top performance are taking proactive steps to ensure that investments in security and compliance controls directly support the strategic
objectives for the business."
"By effectively allocating IT resources based on business objectives and acceptable levels of risk, organizations improve security, sustain compliance, improve leverage from existing IT
resources, make faster decisions, and optimize business processes," explains Bhargava. "Many organizations are leveraging SIEM solutions to track, analyze, and manage how the requirements
expressed by their policies are being satisfied. Then they utilize SIEM results to drive appropriate actions and behavior by the relevant stakeholders. Users of SIEM solutions are
achieving superior results in security GRC as SIEM provides an active, continuous, self-adjusting link between policy and behavior."
