Nieuwe services en oplossingen pakt beveiliging aan van de printer naar de cloud

HP introduceert vandaag een nieuw portfolio security diensten. Nieuwe oplossingen waarmee bedrijven minder kwetsbaar zijn, hun data beter beschermen en meer inzicht krijgen in de veiligheidscontroles. Dit geeft klanten de mogelijkheid om de kosten van infrastructurele risico's te verminderen.

Veiligheid en inzicht in risico's blijven van groot belang voor bedrijven, of dit nu ontstaat door bedreigingen of toenemende druk vanuit regelgeving. Door de uitbreiding van het security portfolio biedt HP klanten een partner-ecosysteem: één bron die aan alle veiligheidsbehoeften voldoet. Klanten verminderen daardoor complexiteit en risico's en besparen op kosten.

"Ondernemingen en overheden moeten eenvoudiger samenwerken ondanks de toegenomen regelgeving en geavanceerde cybercrime aanvallen. Chief Security Officers zoeken naar een leverancier die security naadloos kan integreren binnen de infrastructuur en het bedrijf," aldus Nina Lytton, President bij het analisten bedrijf Open Systems Advisors. "Als pionier in informatieveiligheid met meer dan veertig jaar ervaring, is HP daarvoor goed uitgerust met hun gegroeide portfolio, zodat het volledige domein van klanten beschermd wordt."

De portfolio in beveiligingsdiensten pakt alle aspecten van beveiligen in cloud computing en traditionele technologische omgevingen aan. Dit doet het met behulp van een gemeenschappelijk referentie model om te helpen de complexiteit te verminderen en de kosten te beheren. Dit is inclusief: applicaties, bedrijfscontinuïteit, inhoud, data integriteit, data center eindpunten, netwerken, identificatie en toegangsmanagement, risicomanagement en beveiligingsoperaties

Elke categorie wordt ondersteund door vele individuele services en mogelijkheden voor verschillende informatietypes die de beveiliging nodig heeft.

De toegang tot waardevolle informatie wordt beveiligd door:

· HP Access Control Printing Solution Suite

· HP Scanjet Enterprise 7000n Document Management Workstation Series

De vermindering van de kwetsbaarheid en de verbetering van de handhaving van het beveiligingsbeleid wordt verkregen door:

· HP Business Service Automation (BSA) Essentials Network

· Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) certification

· HP Enterprise Secure Key Manager

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 12, 2010 - HP today introduced a security services portfolio and new solutions that offer increased vulnerability assessment, enhanced data protection and improved compliance controls, enabling customers to reduce infrastructure risks.

The addition of new services and solutions to the HP Secure Advantageportfolio helps customers establish a comprehensive security strategy encompassing key areas of the technology infrastructure - from the data center to desktops and printers - across the enterprise and via the cloud.

Security and compliance continue to be a top concern for companies, whether spurred by threats or ongoing regulatory pressure. With its broadened portfolio, extensive expertise and strong partner ecosystem, HP now provides a single source to meet diverse security needs, thereby reducing organizations' complexity, risks and costs.

"Businesses and governments need to collaborate easily despite increased governance requirements and the sophistication of malicious attacks. Chief security officers continue to look for one vendor with the breadth to integrate security and make it seamless," said Nina Lytton, president at the analyst firm Open Systems Advisors. "As a pioneer in information security for over 40 years, HP is well-equipped with its expanded portfolio to enable customers to safeguard their complete domain."

Managing risks across the enterprise

The new HP Security, Compliance and Continuity Services portfolio integrates a wide variety of consulting, training and managed security services from across HP to empower organizations to more effectively manage risk, protect critical infrastructure, safeguard the continuity of operations and maintain regulatory compliance.

These include applications, business continuity, content, data integrity, data center, end points, networks, identity and access management, risk management, and security operations. Each category of offering is supported by many individual services and capabilities for various types of information security needs.

Through the new portfolio, HP offers a range of sourcing options to provide customers with flexibility to meet their security needs. Based on the customers' individual business objectives, HP works with them to design, implement and maintain their own security environment; manage certain security functions for them; or outsource their entire security environment.
