IT-Security is a matter for specialists – but the Board is liable!
The complexity of attacks on the IT of companies is growing rapidly. Highly specialized security hard- and software is used but only specialists are able to understand and run it. The top management must rely blindly on these experts. In case of a severe incident, executives are personally liable in many jurisdictions worldwide, whether they understand the technical background or not. Radar Services, Europe’s leading IT security monitoring company, introduces RADAR RISK COCKPIT, a live overview on IT security particularly designed for the top management.
(firmenpresse) - The complexity of attacks on the IT of companies is growing rapidly. Highly specialized security hard- and software is used but only specialists are able to understand and run it. The top management must rely blindly on these experts. In case of a severe incident, executives are personally liable in many jurisdictions worldwide, whether they understand the technical background or not. Radar Services, Europe’s leading IT security monitoring company, introduces RADAR RISK COCKPIT, a live overview on IT security particularly designed for the top management.
IT security has become a top priority for executives. The risk of personal liability is a major reason. Executives must continuously monitor IT security. They are required to comply by numerous national and international laws and regulations and cannot delegate their responsibility to a Chief Information Security Officer or IT manager. Every individual top manager is liable for mistakes of employees or other managers in many jurisdictions worldwide. Thus it is a fully legitimate claim to receive immediate and first hand IT security information from an independent source.
RadarServices introduces the RADAR RISK COCKPIT, the worldwide first IT security dashboard with an integrated workflow management and business process risk view.
The RADAR RISK COCKPIT provides the essentials obtained from regular or real time IT security monitoring: security issues recognized and classified by RadarServices, urgency, internal employees responsible for remediation and the current status of the remediation process. A push message on the mobile phone is possible if desired.
The business process risk view presents the threats of the IT security issues to the business processes. For example, a server with several vulnerabilities is not only a threat to the IT infrastructure, but also to the IT-services provided by the server. Employees might be unable to send and receive emails, web portals are inaccessible or the SAP system is interrupted. Thus communication by email becomes impossible, incoming orders via the webportal are not received or new stock levels cannot be entered in the SAP system. The presentation of IT risks and their influences on IT services and business processes in turn, demonstrates clearly and understandably the effects and the overall context at the push of a button.
Transparency is particularly important in attack situations. Internal IT teams must fully concentrate on risk remediation while executives are updated automatically, immediately and in an appropriate level of detail. Thus, the RADAR RISK COCKPIT contributes to efficiency and effectiveness particularly in attack situations. Moreover, it fundamentally improves the internal control system.
