Description

Continuous Compliance Management Increases Resilience to Cyberattack


This IDC Perspective details continuous compliance management to increase resilience to cyberattack. Cybersecurity compliance is often an underrated or do at the last minute or because we have to activity, but it is necessary and can be a powerful protection capability for organizations. Traditional methods of compliance are manual, time-consuming, and labor intensive and cover only portions of the overall IT estate where compliance is managed. However, this also leaves other portions of the IT estate noncompliant. IT estates exist in one of three states of compliance — general level of compliance, habitually noncompliant, and/or naturally noncompliant. In addition, the higher the level of compliance to cybersecurity policies and regulations, the higher the level of resilience to cybersecurity attacks an organization has. Conversely, the lower the level of compliance, the lower the level of resilience to cybersecurity attacks.Continuous compliance management is the most overlooked low-hanging fruit in the cybersecurity space today. There are new technologies that aid considerably in automating and orchestrating cybersecurity compliance continuously, says Philip Harris, research director, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Services at IDC. Organizations that implement continuous compliance management will — in effect — significantly reduce the likelihood of successful cyberattacks, thereby dramatically increasing resilience.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
