Do You Have the Right Vision?

Information technology is making its way into security industry products, and new security products are being developed by IT industry companies, with the result that today's spectrum of security technology has new and far-reaching benefits that previously just didn't exist.

In the past, security practitioners would select a security technology and fit their operations around it. Today's practitioners can do the reverse. They can select technology that can be fit to their needs and operations, so that they command technology and not the other way around.

Today's IT-powered security technology:

  • Gives you new security capabilities by leveraging existing systems rather than replacing them
  • Provides enterprise-wide identity management capability (required for true compliance to many regulations)
  • Provides real-time compliance monitoring and metrics
  • Enables security workflow automation that matches how the rest of the business runs
  • Reduces risks that can't be sufficiently addressed by manpower solutions alone
  • Makes it possible to reduce administrative risks that can significantly impact your security operations
  • Provides business benefits that go beyond security functions, for extremely high security technology ROI
  • Allows staff, even if few, to do more than ever before
This session will give you data and perspectives for evaluating security technology benefits in light of your security operations needs.


This session builds on the following workshop preparation materials:

  • Worksheet: Security Technology
  • Worksheet: Security Procurement
  • Report: RBCS Security Industry Report


Session Leaders: Ray Bernard, President, Ray Bernard Consulting Services and James Connor, Principal, N2N Secure
