Description

The Rising Importance of Operational Cybersecurity for the Future of Operations


This IDC Perspective focuses on the cybersecurity risks and best practices that organizations need to consider on their path to the future of operations. As digital technology continues to be embraced across operations, the potential avenues for attack have also increased. For operational groups, IT/OT convergence initiatives and legacy equipment pose significant security risks that can no longer be overlooked. The document will focus on the best practices and technology enablers that organizations reliant on physical operations can utilize to reduce the risk of operational network security incidents from occurring.“The importance of digital transformation has been understood for some time across most operational groups. Most organizations have been rethinking fundamental aspects of their operations and how a digital-first strategy will be essential to success. While digitization efforts have led to many improvements in performance, the associated security implications are also important to consider — it only takes one incident to cripple an organization. Operations need to implement a comprehensive security strategy that combines key business capabilities and technologies to keep their networks secure,” said Reid Paquin, research vice president, Future of Operations, IDC Industry Insights.

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.
